Alice is angry at having to move to Rainbow, Georgia--a too small, too hot, dried-up place she's sure will never feel like home. Then she gets put in charge of walking her elderly neighbor's dog. But Clarence won't budge without Miss Millie, so Alice and Miss Millie walk him together. Strolling with Miss Millie quickly becomes the highlight of Alice's day, as she learns about the town's past and meets a mix of its catty and kind residents. As the two become confidantes, Alice is finally able to express her heartache over her father's desertion; and when Miss Millie tells her family story, Alice begins to understand the shameful history of segregation, and recognize the racism they need to fight against. Navigating the neighborhood with Miss Millie gives Alice new perspective, the wisdom to move on from her anger, and even enables her to laugh again. Tamara Bundy's beautifully written story reminds readers that there is nothing like friendship to lighten one's load, and make anyplace a home. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 650 0 $a Children and older people $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children, White $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Older African American women $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Children's audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Taber, Catherine, $e narrator. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061214.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20190606011119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A767BFE6895A11E7A12D883F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
