Gone Crazy in Alabama

Sisters Delphine, Vonetta and Fern are heading to Alabama for the summer to stay with their grandmother, Big Ma, and her older sister, Miss Trotter. It's 1969 and things in the U.S. are changing, but not necessarily for better, especially for African American families like theirs. It seems that the sisters are caught between the old fashioned ways of the South and their mother's modern thinking. This book reveals the everyday magic that exists in family, friendship, and the ties that bind us together, even when they seem to be breaking apart.
