Description

Delphine has her life together, despite the challenges she faces. After her mother Cecile abandoned her and her sisters seven years ago, Delphine's father and Big Ma have been sending them to live with Cecile in Oakland, California for the summer. This year, however, things are different. When they arrive, Cecile is reluctant to welcome them back into her life. Instead of spending time together, Cecile sends Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern to a summer camp sponsored by the Black Panthers. Here, the girls receive a radical new education that challenges their perspectives on the world. As they navigate this tumultuous year in American history, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth about their past and the mother who abandoned them. Set against the backdrop of 1968, One Crazy Summer is a heartwarming and humorous tale of three girls searching for answers about their family's past.
