i LOVED this book and i found it really touching. i haven't read a lot about desegregation and integration but this book did a really good job at presenting the horrors and making sure that the beauty in it was maintained. i relate to sarah in so many ways but i admire her strength so so so so much and it definitely made me want to go on and read more about the norfolk 17. very solid book, would most definitely recommend!
