Author: Trudy Krisher

It’s 1960 in the Jim Crow south. Everyone knows what side of the tracks they belong on, and the price to be paid for crossing the line. 13-year-old Maggie Pugh needs to decide who she’s going to stand with.
“This painfully realistic first novel evokes tensions in the South at the brink of the civil rights movement… Hearts will go out to Maggie as she weathers various forms of physical and emotional abuse; her final triumph is a tribute to all who have suffered for justice.” — Publishers Weekly
