A Fort Greene Native is tackling the gentrification of some Brooklyn Neighborhoods in a new book. 

Naima Coster published her first novel called "Halsey Street" this past week.

The book is set mainly in Bedford-Stuyvesant. 

It follows a woman who returns home to Brooklyn to find her former neighborhood completely transformed. 

Although the book is fiction, Coster says she wanted to capture how gentrification can negatively affect residents and businesses in urban neighborhoods. 

"I was mostly interested in what happens to people displaced from their homes. What happens to people who lose their businesses and livelihood. And also what it's like to feel marked like an outsider in the place that you're from," said Coster.

"Halsey Street" is available to buy on Amazon.
