"Melody is an optimistic, enthusiastic girl growing up in Detroit, Michigan during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. She is excited and proud to share a special surprise with her family. She's been chosen to sing a solo for Youth Day at her church! But what song will she choose? She gets advice from her big brother, and is also inspired by her older sister, but it's the inspirational words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that help her pick the perfect song. There are many unfair things happening during Melody's time, even to people in her own family. But it's an unimaginable tragedy in the South that leaves Melody silent. Who can help her lift her voice and sing? Who will inspire her to keep stepping?" --From amazon.com.

Nice book submitted by PharmRach on August 12, 2020, 8:25am The book was a little slow getting started (a lot of characters to meet early in the book), but it really takes the time to paint a picture of Melody and her family and the overall feel of a 10 year old girl growing up in Detroit during the 1960s. My daughter loved the book and wants to go visit the places in Detroit mentioned in the book. A very nice way to start a discussion about the past, and see how it connects to present times.
