Lamb’s mother is a hard-working, creative seamstress who cannot reveal she is a lesbian. Lamb’s brother has a brilliant mind and has even earned a college scholarship for a black college up north-- if only he could curb his impulsiveness and rebellious nature.\n\nLamb herself is a quiet and studious girl. She is also naive. As she tentatively accepts the friendly overtures of a white girl who loans her a book she loves, she sets a off a calamitous series of events that pulls in her mother, charming hustler uncle, estranged father, and brother, and ends in a lynching.\n\nTold with nuance and subtlety, avoiding sensationalism and unnecessary brutality, this young adult novel from celebrated author Lesa Cline-Ransome pays homage to the female victims of white supremacy.\n\nA South Carolina Book Award Nominee\nA New York Public Library Best Book of the Year\nA Horn Book Fanfare Book\nA Booklist Editors’ Choice\nA CSMCL Best Multicultural Children’s Book of the Year\nA BookPage Best Young Adult Book of the Year\nA Bank Street Best Book of the Year - Outstanding Merit\nA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0823450155\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0823450155.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cline-Ransome, Lesa\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
