Description

Grandmama's Pride tells the story of Sarah Marie's summer visit to her grandmother in 1956. As she learns to read, Sarah Marie begins to notice the signs and rules that govern life in her town.

The town is filled with secrets and contradictions, and as Sarah Marie tries to make sense of it all, she wonders if things will ever change. Her grandmother's efforts to shield her from prejudice are admirable, but the world around them is complex and often difficult to understand.
