I can't remember who recommended this book to me. BUT I couldn't put it down. This book is a lot like the book The Help or Secret lie of Bees. It is a novel based in the 1960's and tell of a 10 year old girl named Starla. Starla run away from her white Grandmothers home in search for her mother. Alone her rote she meets Eula (an African American) and they head off in a journey together.
Throughout their journey you see how the black were treated and feel their pain (in the eyes of a 10 year old). It was a very moving book where love and friendship conquers all.
