(4) 4-6 Alice's family differs from their white neighbors in Alabama because her parents believe in racial equality. They move to Tennessee where Alice is again an outsider--especially after telling her classmates she'd stay in school even if it were integrated. Based on events in the author's own childhood, the story contains strong dramatic moments that frequently get lost in day-to-day minutiae.
