Book Description:
Getting Past Her Grief Would Lead Her Across Town—To a Whole New World

Mary Swan Middleton has always taken for granted the advantages of her family's wealth. But a tragedy that touches all of Atlanta sends her reeling in grief.

When the family maid challenges her to reach out to the less fortunate as a way to ease her own pain, Mary Swan meets Carl—and everything changes. For although Carl is her opposite in nearly every way, he has something her privileged life could not give her. And when she seeks his help to uncover a mystery, she learns far more than she ever could have imagined.

I have not read a book in a long time that has so moved me. This is the story of a teenage girl,living in Georgia, in the sixties, who upon the tragic loss of her mother, finds herself questioning the meaning of life and the way she has been raised. It delves into all of the aspects of how one perceives things and how they are in reality. The story does not preach, but takes us on her journey to self discovery.

An inspiring novel about coming of age in the segregated South of the early 60's. A powerful Christian novel of love, compassion and self-discovery.

Easy read novel with plenty of action,suspense,and drama and a vast array of characters. The author really did her homework in making sure everything coorelated as needed with the setting of this storyline and where it took place. I'm looking forward to reading other novels by this author to see if they are just as good.
