Review of 'Midnight without a moon' on 'Goodreads'

Wonderful and powerful. A tough, lovely, and real story about a young girl growing up in the Mississippi Delta during the 1950's and struggling to sort out her place in her family and in the world at large. This is a beautiful book - filled with complex characters, sharp storytelling, and rich history. A must read for kids and adults.
