It's also where two girls are going to shake things up. This is the last summer of thirteen-year-old Corky Corcoran's childhood, and her family hires a Haitian housekeeper who brings her daughter, America, along with her. Corky is quick to befriend America and eager to share her favorite new "grown-up" novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. America's take on it is different and profoundly personal. As their friendship grows, Corky finds out so much more about America's life and her hidden skill: she can run as fast as Olympian Wilma Rudolph! When Corky asks America to play with her girls' softball team for the annual church rivals game, it's a move that crosses the color line and sets off a firestorm. As tensions escalate, it fast becomes a season of big changes in High Cotton. For Corky, those changes will last a lifetime. 0aHousekeepersvFiction.914100 0aHaitianszUnited StatesvFiction.916126 0aRace relationsvFiction.912093 0aFriendshipvFiction.96920 0aBooks and readingvFiction.96110 0aSoftball teamsvFiction.916127 0aTexasvFiction.913022 7aHistorical fiction.2lcgft9129  a.b188413947  2ddccBOOK  c29401d29401  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcAFd2024-03-26g16.99l2oRUTLp65899r2024-06-18s2024-05-01w2024-03-26yBOOK11
