Grandmama's Pride book cover

Grandmama's Pride

It is 1956 and Sarah Marie, her mama, and her little sister are traveling by bus to spend summer vacation with Grandmama down South. From the moment they set foot on the bus, things are different from the way they are at home.

Sarah Marie is going to learn to read this summer, and when she does, she will find out why things are so different in the South.

Grandmama's Pride is a story based on true things that really happened. Grandmama's Pride is my first book for children.
