Hardcover. Condition: New. Samuel Daniel Dare may only be in the fifth grade, but he has known more heartache than any boy should. Since the death of his mother, the Dare family has left their hollow in the Carolinas to seek their fortune in the endless orange groves of Florida.' 'But the local sheriff doesn't like the looks of the Dare children. In fact, Sheriff Kyle Deluth wants them banned from the all-white school - which can legally block any child who is more than one-eighth Negro. Never mind that the family is part Croatan Indian, not black. In these parts, K.A. Deluth's word is law.' 'Although, a court battle will ultimately determine the Dares' fate, the seething court of public opinion has already sentenced them to the status of outcasts. And a silent band of cowards clad in white sheets comes calling in the night.' 'But among the sea of racists, an unlikely pair of supporters surface: Lila Hightower - the complicated prodigal daughter of the county's most powerful man - and Ruth Cooper Barrows, new-in-town editor of the local paper. Together, the two women forge a dangerous alliance to confront the good ol' boy network in a shattering, no-holds-barred fight. But it is an unexpected ally who will change the face of the town - and their lives - forever. And in the process, a powerful friendship will teach Daniel Dare something no schoolbook ever could.'--BOOK JACKET.…
