A powerful and emotional coming-of-age novel set amid the turmoil and profound changes of the 1960s by the bestselling author of West with Giraffes.
In segregated High Cotton, Texas, in 1964, the racial divide is as clear as the railroad tracks running through town. Its also where two girls are going to shake things up.
This is the last summer of thirteen-year-old Corky Corcorans 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. Americas take on it is different and profoundly personal. As their friendship grows, Corky finds out so much more about Americas 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, its 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.
Set on the eve of massive cultural shifts, Mockingbird Summer explores the impact of great books, the burden of potential, and the power of friendship with humor, poignancy, and exhilarating hope.
