Fifteen-Sixteenths: One girl's civil war for civil rights. - Paperback

by Renae Weight Mackley (Author)

Being fifteen-sixteenths white shouldn't matter. But in 1963, as a new girl at an all-white South Carolina high school, it does. Discovery of Charlotte's mixed ancestry would mean her suspension-removing her from friends, a boyfriend, and her best chance for a drama scholarship. When Gran breaks her leg and moves in, Charlotte's risk skyrockets. But Gran's stories of her own grandmother, a slave during the Civil War, give Charlotte the strength to battle those who are determined to unravel her future. Two time periods-100 years apart-come together for an unforgettable story of freedom and courage.
