(4) YA In 1966 Alabama, many do not approve of Francie's new friendship with Ruthie, who is black. Ruthie helps fourteen-year-old Francie cope with her mother's recent death; then Francie learns she was murdered while saving Ruthie from a rapist. Though the writing is somewhat trite and long-winded, readers will likely push forward to discover whether the girls' friendship will survive.
