Description

[This is actually the Audiobook CASSETTE Selection Version in plastic case.] In this beautifully written introduction, Anna Jean Mayhew provides a captivating interpretation of Southern living in the throes of segregation and what it'll mean for a lady on her method to maturity and for the lady who means the planet to her. On a day in August 1954, thirteen-year-old Jubie W leaves Charlotte, New York, along with her family to get a Florida holiday. Packed in to the Packard along side Jubie are her mother, three siblings, and the household's black maid, Mary Luther. For so long as Jubie may recall, Mary hasbeen there washing, cooking, paying for her mom's benign neglect and her father's rages, and caring Jubie unconditionally.
