Set in the turbulent summer of 1964 in Tupelo, Mississippi, a volatile time and place during the fight for civil rights, this sentimental novel concerns three women--Diana, a white 13-year-old in the throes of adolescence; her mother, Paige, paralyzed from the neck down as a result of polio; and Peacie, Paige's outspoken African-American caretaker--who must each balance her desire for independence with her needs both to help and seek help from others.
