Helpful Score: 7

Absolutely one of the most enjoyable novels i've read. It takes place in the south in the 60's during the racial riots when there is much danger with whites and blacks befriending each other. The srory is about Starla a 9 year old fiesty child with a huge heart and Eula a woman with an even bigger heart so used to living with only the crumbs of life. This story is mesmerizing. It took me through places I didn't want to go and was uncomfortable reading about, it took me places that made my heart swell with happiness, it took me places I sobbed and places I laughed and it brought me to an ending that left me wishing I didn't have to leave. The book is full of characters i've come to love and hope someday there will be a follow up so I'm able to catch up with them again.
