"From a century-old knot of injustice, Karen Spears Zacharias joins a true story richly imagined to both local kin and the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that dealt misery to thousands. But it is the immediate tale of Carrie’s struggle for dignity that will catch you. How can a girl child, judged and wronged, deprived of all she loves, ultimately prevail? She can wait for this book, as this book now waits for you." —Kim Stafford, author of AS THE SKY BEGINS TO CHANGE
