But for now, she’s living with her sharecropper grandparents on a white man’s cotton plantation. <DIV><BR /> Then, one town over, an African American boy, Emmett Till, is killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. When Till’s murderers are unjustly acquitted, Rose realizes that the South needs a change . . . and that she should be part of the movement.  <DIV><BR /> Linda Jackson’s moving debut seamlessly blends a fictional portrait of an African American family and factual events from a famous trial that provoked change in race relations in the United States.</DIV></DIV></DIV>
