It is always interesting to see the world through the innocence of a child. It is especially interesting when the subject matter we as adults don't always feel comfortable discussing.
Jessilyn and Gemma are best friends. The only problem with that is that Jessilyn is white and Gemma is black. Today not too many people would see a problem with that, but in the 1930's tha was a big problem. After Gemma parents are killed in a tragic accident, Jessilyn's parents decide to take in Gemma as their own. The are faced with lots of ridicule and hatred for their choice. The story is told through Jessilyn's eyes, and it will open everyone's eyes to why we should all see each other as people not as a race.
