El libro cuenta la historia de Lily en el verano de 1964. 
Refleja con mucho éxito el trato que se le daba a la gente de color en 1964 y cómo la sociedad estadounidense reaccionó cuando se les permitió votar y terminar con la segregación.

Lots of idolatry, which made parts of it difficult to read. Spiritual abuse.
