A proud poor woman living in a small town in Kentucky uncovers secrets about her own life and the town about it.
Reviews coampare this book to "To Kill A Mockingbird". I can see the similarities. Olivia is a proud girl and essentially color blind in a society which, at that time, was not. There's alot of rich detail and the secrets don't let the reader down.
(added) Now that I think about it, some of the characters' actions and parts of the plot don't add up. But it was an interesting read.)
Virginia, don't tell my son, but I was disappointed by the Maze Runner series too. It just didn't make sense.
