This was a fantastic story of friendship set at specific point in history. Marlee makes amazing growth and finds her voice through her friendship with Liz. Public schools being closed rather than allowing integration is not talked about enough, and based on my supplemental reading, this story does a good job of summarizing and explaining the situation.
