It's also where two girls are going to shake things up. This is the last summer of thirteen-year-old Corky Corcoran's childhood, and her family hires a Haitian housekeeper who brings her daughter, America, along with her. Corky is quick to befriend America and eager to share her favorite new "grown-up" novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. America's take on it is different and profoundly personal. As their friendship grows, Corky finds out much more about America's life and her hidden skill: she can run as fast as Olympian Wilma Rudolph! When Corky asks America to play with her girls' softball team for the annual church rivals game, it's a move that crosses the color line and sets off a firestorm. As tensions escalate, it fast becomes a season of big changes in High Cotton. For Corky, those changes will last a lifetime. 541 $d 20240405. 650 $a Haitians. 650 $a Interracial friendship. 650 1 $a Segregation. 941 $a 17 945 $a lpt 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240713011357.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20240710105201.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710065329.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240705010103.0 952 $l RQPC397 $d 20240703011043.0 952 $l RNPC397 $d 20240625010932.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20240614011339.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020139.0 952 $l WMPC185 $d 20240530171038.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240502011812.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240502011642.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011146.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430022248.0 952 $l ZOPC437 $d 20240423131356.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240423011134.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20240413102119.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20240413011342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=698A6F42F95C11EEA2CA6DDA30ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
