The neighborhood convulses and spasms of violence erupt. Rather than run or fight, Makayla, the new family's matriarch, her son Elvin Jr., and her daughter-in-law Shirley are determined to put their \"best food forward”—inviting neighbors to parties that feature the family’s favorite dishes.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe neighbors include the Kelly, Derico and Welles families,\u003c\/strong\u003e all of whose reactions traverse emotional arcs from contempt to confusion to grudging acceptance to love.
