Infused with the intensity of a changing time, here is a story of hope, heartbreak, and the love and courage that can transform us from child to adult, wounded to indomitable.. Now, in the wake of tragedy, Jubie must confront her parents failings and limitations, decide where her own convictions lie, and make the tumultuous leap to independence. Bright and curious, Jubie takes note of the anti-integration signs they pass and of the racial tension that builds as they journey further south. For as long as Jubie can remember, Mary has been there cooking, cleaning, compensating for her father's rages and her mother's benign neglect, and loving Jubie unconditionally. Crammed into the Packard along with Jubie are her three siblings, her mother, and the family's black maid, Mary Luther. But she could never have predicted the shocking turn their trip will take.
