Reseña: Its 1964 and Alice has moved to Mississippi from Chicago with her family. Nicknamed `Yankee Girl and taunted by the in-crowd at school Alice soon discovers the other new girl Valerie - one of the schools first black students - has it much worse. Alice cant stand the way Valerie is treated and yet she knows she will remain an outsider if she speaks up. It takes a horrible tragedy to finally give Alice the courage to stand up for what she believes. Set in the Deep South in the 1960s Yankee Girl is a powerful resonant and relevant story about racism and doing the right thing.
