Boston was a world apart from South Carolina. Up there, people of color could go anywhere they pleased. There was no need to wait for church to dress up in fancy clothes. Fancy was simply a way of life. Mama was a city girl, and now I was going to be one too.
It was 1944, and in a small, Southern, segregated town, eleven-year-old Ella spent her summers running wild with her cousins and friends. But life wasn't always so sunny. The deep racial tension that simmered beneath their town's peaceful facade never quite went away, and Ella missed her mama - a beautiful jazz singer, who lived in Boston.
So, when an invitation arrived to visit Boston for a visit, Ella was ecstatic. The trip proved life-changing in more ways than one. For the first time, Ella saw what life outside of segregation was like, and began to dream of a very different future.
But her happiness was shattered when she returned home to the news that her classmate had been arrested for the murder of two white girls - and nothing would ever be the same again.
A beautifully written and deeply moving story about finding and fighting for your place in the world.
