Thirteen-year-old Corky's life is changed forever when her family hires a Haitian housekeeper who brings her daughter, America. As their friendship grows, so do the tensions in the community. When Corky asks America to join her softball team, it sets off a firestorm of change. This season of big changes will last a lifetime for Corky and have a profound impact on those around her. With humor, poignancy, and exhilarating hope, Mockingbird Summer explores themes that are both timely and timeless. Set against the backdrop of massive cultural shifts, this novel delves into the power of friendship and the burden of potential. A story of growth, change, and the enduring impact of great books on our lives.
