An interesting story about a young girl but also a small town in Mississippi and how all the people are connected. "Capturing all the rueful irony and racial ambivalence of small-town Mississippi in the late 1950s, Melinda Haynes' celebrated novel is a wholly unforgettable exploration of family, identity, and redemption." -Back Cover. Also from Oprah's Book Club.
