This story has two themes, the civil rights struggle in Jackson, Mississippi and a family’s struggle with an aging grandmother battling dementia and failing health.
Grandma Beans knows her struggle with dementia is making it more important that she pass on to her granddaughter, Dani, her notebooks from her past. Dani realizes that Grandma Beans has given her the key to the answers to events from the night of the riots at ‘Ole Miss and her grandmother’s personal involvement as a victim.
This was a gripping story told to keep the reader wanting the answers, too.
