This uplifting debut novel is set during the Civil Rights Movement in Jackson, Miss., where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver. Eugenia Phelan is anxious to become a writer and is advised to write about what disturbs her. The budding social activist begins to collect the stories of the black women on whom the country club set relies.

Reviewer: The Rev. Jane Huffstetler, pastor, St. James Presbyterian Church in Jenks, came to adulthood in the deep South during the turbulent '60s.
