By Susan Crandall
In the summer of 1963, 9 year-old Starla runs away from her grandmother's house. She hopes to reach Nashville. Starla wants to find her mother, who abandoned her and her father when she was 3.
What follows is the heart wrenching yet heart warming tale of her adventure. On her way to Nashville, she meets Eula, a young black woman. They travel together, and nothing is ever the same again for either of them. They journey through the deep South, encountering trouble everywhere they go.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees or The Help, you will like it too.
