This is a book about a girl named Louise. She was sure that nothing new would happen in her life. she would still help her mother with their boarding house, she would still go to school, and she would still help Charlotte. Then desegregation starts at her school. She is pulled out of William Frantz and her mom becomes a cheerleader. The cheerleaders are a group of woman who gather outside of Louise's school to bully Ruby Bridges, a six year old african-american attending William Frantz school. But if that wasn't enough change in her life, one day a Chevy Bel Air pulls up in front of the boarding house and a man named Morgan steps out. He has a very mysterious past and Louse realizes that finally somebody cares about her feelings. Soon, they know the reason Morgan is there and everything about Louise's world changes.
I really liked this book. I think it is a really interesting story and is well written. It is a little bit boring at first, but I feel like there was a really good story in the end. I also think Louise is a very interesting character and it was fun to get to know her.
There is some mature themes and language in this book, most of which racist.
