Characters: Sarah Beth, Ruby Lee, Robin, the grandparents
The story starts off in 1969 at the beginning of the summer. There is a car accident where Sarah's younger sister gets hit by a car. Sarah goes to stay with her grandparents where she learns about patience through baking. She has spent time there before and has a friend named Ruby Lee, the granddaughter of the black woman that works with her own grandmother. This is occuring during the days of integration where Ruby Lee finds she will be attending a mostly white school with a new black teacher. With hospital bills piling up, Sarah's parents need to sell their house and move to the farm with the grandparents. Sarah finds she will also be attending the newly integrated school. The main idea behind this book is forgiveness and strength. Both of which Sarah must find from her family and her friend Ruby Lee. It is a heart-warming story about a twelve year old girl grappling with difficult topics and growing up.
