Written over a span of twelve years, and edited by Toni Morrison, who calls Those Bones Are Not My Child the author's magnum opus, Bambara's last novel leaves us with an enduring and revelatory chronicle of an American nightmare. In a suspenseful novel of uncommon depth and intensity, Toni Cade Bambara renders a harrowing portrait of a city under siege. Having elected its first black mayor in 1980, Atlanta projected an image of political progressiveness and prosperity. But between September 1979 and June 1981, more than forty black children were kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and brutally murdered throughout "The City Too Busy to Hate." A separated mother of three holding down several jobs, Zala Spencer has managed to survive on the margins of a flourishing economy until she awakens the morning of Sunday, July 20, 1980, to find her teenage son Sonny missing. As the hours turn into days, Zala realizes that Sonny is among the many cases of missing children just beginning to attract national attention. Growing increasingly disillusioned with the authorities, who respond to Sonny's disappearance with cold indifference, Zala and her estranged husband embark on a desperate search. Through the eyes of a family seized by anguish and terror, we watch a city roiling with political, racial, and class tensions.Binding Type: Paperback

Protects floors
Size: X-Large: 28" x 34"
I love these pee pad holders. My dog goes near the edge of the pad and the urine gets on my hardwood floors. With these pads the edges of the pee pad holder catches the urine before it gets on the floors. It is very easy to clean the pad holder. I am so thankful it protects my floors!

Works well with the pads. Keeps them from getting bunched up all over the floor.
Size: Small: 24" x 24"
It was a nice idea, but my dogs chewed it up. If you don't have a chewer, then it's really nice.

Saved my sanity
Size: Small: 24" x 24"
I thought I knew everything about cats, but when my 14 year old cat stopped using the litter box, I could not fix it. I did persuade her to start using puppy pads but the problem was she would pee toward the edge and it always got on the floor. Or, defying everything I know about reality, she would find a way to pee UNDER the puppy pad.
I asked ChatGPT for advice and it recommended these. They fixed the problem by 80% and I'll take it! These mats help a ton. She still gets some pee on the floor, but it's not the huge problem it used to be. The edge on the mat keeps it contained. And enzymatic cleaner works its magic on the floor.
The clips that go on the edges are kinda fragile, but that's why they give you extras.
