I don't know. I feel like, if you described this story to me, I would have been told you it was a great story. Reading it, I felt detached. For me, I wondered why I was reading a book about a white person helping out in the civil rights movement when there are so many people of color that we don't know enough about. Then, I felt conflicted because I want white people to be a part of the movement as well, and books like this might inspire them. So I don't know really what I wanted from this book, but the mood I was in while reading it says to me that it wasn't the right book for me at the right time.

As far as the writing goes, it's fine. The main problem is the blue pages with black text on it, which makes those pages hard to read. There are some black pages where they use white text, so changing the font color wasn't a problem there.
