Join us at the West Hernando Branch Library on March 19th for a discussion of "Whistling Past the Graveyard" by Susan Crandall.
"Whistling past the graveyard. That’s what Daddy called it when you did something to keep your mind off your most worst fear...
In the summer of 1963, nine-year-old Starla Claudelle runs away from her strict grandmother’s Mississippi home. Starla’s destination is Nashville, where her mother went to become a famous singer, abandoning Starla when she was three. Walking a lonely country road, Starla accepts a ride from Eula, a black woman traveling alone with a white baby. Now, on the road trip that will change her life forever, Starla sees for the first time life as it really is—as she reaches for a dream of how it could one day be." -- Description from Amazon.com.
