Lay that Trumpet in Our Hands by Susan Carol McCarthy


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The story is set in central Florida where I now live, so it was interesting to read about places that are very local. It's a young adult type book which Amber was assigned to read over the summer. I read it wondering if it would be a worthwhile book, and it definitely was. The author brings to life the racial prejudices that played out in actual events in the early 1950's from the point of view of a young teenage girl. It's a well-written and interesting story.
