I enjoyed this coming-of-age book. Lily is 14 years old and has been raised my her father, T Ray and Rosealeen their housekeeper. I like how the story is set during the civil rights movement. I'm even too young to know how things used to be and I think it's important to learn about our history so that things aren't repeated. I like the characters and the relationships built between characters. I couldn't put it down.
