Louise Collins is a thirteen-year-old girl growing up in segregated New Orleans in 1960. She sees all kinds of prejudice, especially from her mother who is a member of the Cheerleaders; a group of women who protest integration. When a stranger comes to their rooming house, things get turned upside down. I would recommend this book as an older teenage read.
