Description
Isabella, a black housekeeper, helps ten-year-old Rachel sort out issues of friendship, racism, and prejudice, and teaches her that the only way to learn is by heart. "Without any bells and whistles, this first novel powerfully describes friendship and race relations in a Southern town in the early 1960's." -- Publishers Weekly
