A. LaFaye The Strength of Saints
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing 2002-06-01 0689832001 / 9780689832000 Paperback New Paperback
New unread book. Hardcover with a dust jacket(the dust jacket might have a minor shelf wear).Inside me, in a new place, sore with growth, I felt the solid weight of strength holding me up, pushing me forward to face what was sure to come next.Nissa Bergen is growing up...and finding that she's growing apart from childhood friends and facing adult decisions. Her hometown is changing too. Northerners have settled in Harper, Louisiana, and have opened a cannery. With the new population, new resources -- like more schools -- are needed. But there's growing racial tension, with threats of violence that may come back to hurt Nissa, who created the town's separate-but-equal libraries.Nissa is faced with a chance to be a hero, and like a true hero, she just wants to do what's right. But doing what's right is never easy. Not even for saints.
