In segregated mid-1950s Mississippi, increasing racial strife poses a new dilemma for thirteen-year-old Rose Lee Carter (Midnight Without a Moon). She is caught between conflicting tactics to effect change: peaceful protest or retaliatory violence. With captivating characterization, Jackson has again credibly woven real historical events into a poignant story of hope, friendship, and aspiration, resulting in an insightful, relevant historical novel.
