Jane Gable has lived all of her nine years in the town of Morgan Hill. 
It’s always been pretty much the same . . . until this year.  When this small Tennessee town gets its first black residents, people, attitudes, and
familiar alliances change.  Then tragedy strikes – and Jane has to
find a new way to define “family”. 

Take a trip to Morgan Hill.  Stop in at the store and visit with Henry
over an ice cream sandwich.  Walk along the railroad tracks with Jane
and her little brother (carefully avoiding that snake Alvin Dodson, who
likes to lurk among the cockleburs).  Join the crowd at the church’s
annual Christmas pageant.  You might even meet an angel.
