I very seldom read Y.A. books.  I took a chance on this book, and I'm so glad I did.  This story is a gem.  The format of the book medium pace read---fantastic cast of characters great to see how the characters matured.  Well, some did not all.  Grammie Atti is my favorite.  She is something else who has a lot wisdom.  Grammie tells it like it is either you like what she says, or you don't (she said what she said).  The message is apparent how racism in the '60s is the same but sneaker in today's society.  I am so amazed by Ms. Corthron's beautiful writing.  I am hoping for a continuation of Evalene and her family.  Very well done, Kara Lee Corthron
