From an awardwinning author comes a wise and tender comingofage story about a nineyearold girl who runs away from her Mississippi home in 1963, befriends a lonely woman suffering loss and abuse, and embarks on a lifechanging roadtrip.In the summer of 1963, nineyearold spitfire Starla Claudelle runs away from her strict grandmothers Mississippi home. Starla hasnt seen her momma since she was threethats when Lulu left for Nashville to become a famous singer. Starlas daddy works on an oil rig in the Gulf, so Mamie, with her tsktsk sounds and her bitter refrain of Lord, give me strength, is the nearest thing to family Starla has. After being put on restriction yet again for her sassy mouth, Starla is caught sneaking out for the Fourth of July parade. She fears Mamie will make good on her threat to send Starla to reform school, so Starla walks to the outskirts of town, and just keeps walking. . . . If she can get to Nashville and find her momma, then all that she promised will come true: Lulu will be a star. Daddy will come to live in Nashville, too. And her family will be whole and perfect. Walking a lonely country road, Starla accepts a ride from Eula, a black woman traveling alone with a white baby. The trio embarks on a road trip that will change Starlas life forever. She sees for the first time life as it really isas she reaches for a dream of how it could one day be.
