What a beautiful book! I am thrilled to share this book with my students and to teach from it in the coming semester. Melba's story of perseverance is one that we can all appreciate and strive to emulate. I was initially a bit disappointed to see that this book does not cover much of Melba's experience at Central High School, but then I learned that that was the subject of her previously published book, Warriors Don't Cry. I have put that next on my reading list for this month.
