About the book: It’s Mississippi in the summer of 1955, and thirteen-year-old Rose Lee Carter can’t wait to move north, following in the footsteps of her mama and her aunt. But for now, she’s living with Ma Pearl and Papa, her grandparents, who are sharecroppers on a cotton plantation.

A few towns over, a fourteen-year-old African American boy, Emmett Till, is killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. When the killers are unjustly acquitted, Rose realizes that the South needs a change . . . and that she should be part of the movement. 

Linda William Jackson’s moving debut seamlessly blends a fictional portrait of an African American family and factual events from a famous trial that provoked change in race relations in the U.S.
