Description
In the summer of 1964, a young girl’s world is transformed as she and her family become connected to the courageous effort to register Black voters in Mississippi. As the movement gathers momentum, she witnesses both the hope of ordinary people taking extraordinary risks and the danger that follows when justice is demanded. Blending coming-of-age intimacy with the sweep of historical events, the story explores courage, community, and the moral cost of standing by—or standing up. Deborah Wiles brings her signature lyrical clarity and emotional depth to a pivotal chapter of American history, illuminating how freedom is fought for in classrooms, kitchens, and streets alike.
