Wonderful story of a young white girl growing up in a time when blacks had no rights and were fighting for them. She finds that her own family doesn't give her the love and support she needs once her mother dies and ends up finding the love and companionship not only in the black lady who cares for her but in many others who simply take her in as her own. She realizes that all she has heard about the blacks just simply isn't true... and learns that color has no bearing on loving someone. Wonderful story!!!!! And it will make you crave honey too!
