Set in the time of the depression, and rampant racism, this book shows how any segment of society, contains both the best, and the worst, of what the human race has to give. We watch the story of a town, caught in the midst of a race fueled trial, unfold through the eyes of a young tom-boy. In the beginning, she does not understand the dynamics of the events surrounding her, her family, and her town. While her aunt tries to guide her into becoming a young "lady", her real understanding of what is proper, comes from the events set in motion by this trial.
