In this Coretta Scott King Honor Book by bestselling author Rita Williams-Garcia, troubled fourteen-year-old Gayle is sent down South to live with her uncle and aunt, where her life begins to change as she experiences the healing power of family. Now with a beautiful new cover!
Rediscover this Coretta Scott King Honor Book by master storyteller Rita Williams-Garcia, about a teen girl who learns that there is so much more to her story than she thought.
When fourteen-year-old Gayle gets in trouble with a boy—again—her mother doesn't give her a choice: Gayle is getting sent away from New York to her family down South, along with her baby, José.
In small-town Georgia, there is nowhere to go but church, nothing to do but chores, and no friends except her goody-goody, big-boned, kneesock-wearing cousin Cookie. She's stuck cleaning up after Great, the family matriarch who stays upstairs in her bed.
But as she listens to Great's stories, Gayle learns about family history and secrets—and all the stories of her past begin to change how Gayle sees her future.
