Summary

In the midst of America’s crumbling culture, rife with protest marches and violence aplenty, optimistic Hillary Broome Kiffin is promoting a soon-to-open community center in downtown Sacramento. She is tunned to become the bull’s eye in an anti-gentrification movement headed by a bitter old professor, bent on doing whatever it takes to preserve his aging and historic neighborhood. As Hillary combats the professor, her young basketball phenom daughter is hit by a series of emotional crises, forcing Hillary to confront her own resistance to searching for the mother who abandoned her years before. In this city-life crime story, the naked truth about local politics, homelessness, and gentrification stands out in its visceral impacts.

"In her timely novel, Gillam pits Hillary against a villain who plays by his own rules to preserve a way of life he’s obsessed by. Thought-provoking and filled with suspense!" (Linda Townsdin, author of Spirit Lake Mysteries)

"Another intense Hillary Broome adventure, a tale of what a woman faces today: success at her job, concerns about her past, and the biggest job of all...keeping her daughter safe." (Robin Martinez Rice, Author of The Blue Clay Pot)

In its focus on urban life issues, House of Hoops has been compared to The City We Became: A Novel, best-selling book one in The Great Cities Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin.
