  • "A young girl comes of age in Alabama during the last days of the 1950's polio epidemic."@en
  • "In an Alabama town in the early 1950s during the last polio summer before the Salk vaccine, ten-year-old Tabitha "Tab" Rutland is about to have the time of her life. Although movie theaters and pools have been closed to stem the epidemic, Tab, a tomboy with a passion for Roy Rogers, still seeks adventure with her best friend Maudie May, "the lightest brown colored person" she knows. Now as they meddle with the local bootlegger, Mr. Jake, row out on the Tennessee River to land the biggest catfish ever, and snoop into the town's darkest secrets, Tab sets out to be a hero...and comes of age in an unforgettable confrontation with human frailty, racial injustice, and the healing power of love."@en
  • "A summer in a Southern town during the polio scare of the 1950s, the swimming pools closed, children sent to the country to avoid contagion. The heroine is a white girl who stays behind, playing with the daughter of a black maid. A first novel."@en
