Publisher's noteTwelve-year old Nellie Lee's family moves north to Chicago hoping to escape the racism of the rural south.

AnnotationSet in 1919, this book tells the story of Nellie Lee Love, a young African-American girl who lives with her family in Bradford Corners, Tennessee. Life in Bradford Corners is quiet--or so it seems. The only communication that Nellie's family has with the larger black communities elsewhere is when Nellie's dad receives the NAACP magazine every month. But word gets out that a lot of blacks are receiving the magazine, and the sheriff doesn't like it one bit--he tells the community that if anyone is caught reading the magazine, the Ku Klux Klan will have the last word with them. Soon, life in Bradford Corners drastically changes. And Nellie Lee Love will be involved in the toughest fight of their lives.... If You Enjoy "Color Me Dark (Hardcover)", May We Also Recommend:
