Historical Fiction - My New Favorite Genre?




Last night I finished reading a wonderful book called Glory Be by Augusta Scattergood.  The genre is historical fiction and the setting is the early 1960's in Mississippi.  In this book the main character is a twelve year old girl named Glory who struggles to understand the concepts of prejudice and discrimination.  The story follows Glory through one summer of making choices that aren't always easy.  If you like books with strong, determined main characters, that are both informative and inspirational, then you should definitely read Glory Be
