I first read this book as part of my church's book group. In outlining the coming of age of a young girl in the South as the Civil Rights movement came alive, it offers the bittersweet insight into white Southern families and the African-Americans their lives were so intimately entwined with. This book is a true surprise, and if you enjoyed the "Ya-Ya Sisterhood," I know you will love this book, too.
