Book Corner

I am currently reading:

Description:

"Twelve-year-old Deza Malone has a close and loving family, and she's the smartest girl in her class in Gary, Indiana. But times are tough, and it's hard for black men like Deza's father to find work. Desperate to help his family, Deza's father leaves town to look for work, and soon Deza, her mom, and her older brother, Jimmie, are setting off in search of him. Along the way, they experience many Depression-era hardships, including living in a shantytown outside Flint MIchigan and riding the rails, all the while never giving up the hope of being together again."

(Description taken from publisher).
