Overview
Thereās a place in this 1950s southern town where all are welcome, no matter what their skin colorā¦and āTricia Ann knows exactly how to get there. To her, itās someplace special and sheās bursting to go by herself.
When her grandmother sees that sheās ready to take such a big step, āTricia Ann hurries to catch the bus heading downtown. But unlike the white passengers, she must sit in the back behind the Jim Crow sign and wonder why life's so unfair.
Still, for each hurtful sign seen and painful comment heard, thereās a friend around the corner reminding āTricia Ann that sheās not alone. And even her grandmotherās wordsā"You are somebody, a human beingāno better, no worse than anybody else in this worldāāecho in her head, lifting her spirits and pushing her forward.
