Book excerpt: Senior year. The homestretch. Honor student, Grace Warner, had it easy. Popularity, friends, attention from her crush, even a soccer scholarship offer-if only she can figure out her senior project to graduate on time. Getting approval to write about someone's life-changing event, Grace recruits her sassy grandma as her mentor who can't wait to tell the crazy story from her childhood. Events in the early sixties are words in history books to Grace, but her grandma lived them. She witnessed the civil rights movement in full swing, desegregation becoming a reality in her southern town, Martin Luther King, Jr. moving the country with his iconic speech, and the country coming to a halt when President Kennedy was assassinated. Grace loves finding out her family history but didn't know the project would have her noticing hardships and prejudices at her school she hadn't before. When the homecoming court is announced and new kid, Jacob Horton, is nominated as a colossal prank, the nomination brings Grace to a choice, much like her grandmother years before her. God is about to use her in a miracle if she chooses correctly. If she fails, a life could be lost.
