(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Shane W. Evans. Her grandmother was a slave, her father a sharecropper, and during her life Osceola Mays has survived a hardscrabble existence marked by separation, death, prejudice, faith, injustice, hope, and triumph. Govenar has shaped her recollections into an accessible and highly personal account of a full life. Evans's formally composed paintings gently evoke character of both people and place.
