How much would you risk to stand up for your beliefs?
When Duncan and Sarah Powell move with their daughter, May, to Savannah Georgia in 1947, they hope against hope that they'll be welcomed. But they're Yankees and worse, they're civil rights advocates almost a decade too early.
At first May can pretend they're the same as everyone else. It means keeping quiet when she knows she should speak up, but it's worth the sacrifice to win friends. Unfortunately her parents are soon putting their beliefs into action. And when they wake to find that they're the only family on the block with a Ku Klux Klan cross blazing on their front lawn, the time comes for them to finally decide between what's easy and what's right.
This atmospheric coming-of-age tale set in the 1940s segregated American South is perfect for readers who loved The Help, The Secret Life of Bees and Where the Crawdads Sing.
Kindly Note: This is not a Rom Com like Michele Gorman's books under her own name. It contains adult themes that some readers may find uncomfortable.
Genre: Literary Fiction
