pickThis is a first edition copy from my library….that cover. Pub date 1976. I‘m glad I went into this book blindly bc you think you‘re just getting a coming of age book in the 1950s in the South but it‘s so much more than that. Covers the severe racial injustice that was going on at the time and the path of one young privileged white coed from slight concern for the plight of blacks to an a more evolved compassion and understanding. #Alabama
JanuarieTimewalker13 It‘s tragic that society considers you a “radical” for just despising injustice and having compassion. 2w
JanuarieTimewalker13 Book 23 2025 11/5/25 This book was packed with cool 1950s cultural references like Revlon‘s Fire and Ice Advertising campaign and Springolator shoes….lol had to look those up. Crinolines (?) which I have yet to look up. It also references a TON of books because Maggie was a voracious reader… 2w
