Summary
"In the Jim Crow South, twelve-year-old Ella spends her days fishing and running around the small town of Alcolu, South Carolina, with her cousins, Henry and Myrna. But life is not always so sunny for Ella, who gets bullied for her lighter skin tone and whose mother is away pursuing a jazz singer career up north in Boston. So Ella is ecstatic when her mother invites her to visit for Christmas. She doesn't expect to uncover new truths about her mother, the father she never knew, and her family's most unlikely history. After a life-changing trip, she returns south and is shocked by the news that her schoolmate George has been arrested for the murder of two local white girls."--, Provided by publisher
