It is summer in a small town in Kentucky in the late 1960s
and Jessie is about to learn about life.  She lives with her
mom and doesn't know anything about her father.  Her
colorful grandmother visits although they don't get along
very well.  The whole summer changes when a volunteer shows
up in the county to help the President with his war on
poverty.  She asks Jessie to be her guide.  The volunteer
succeeds in getting most everyone angry with her.  Jessie
tries to discover who her father is... and both the reader
and Jessie are surprised at the circumstances of her birth
and who her father is.  Jessie does a lot of growing up in
this 218 page book centered on a small Kentucky town
described beautifully by the author.
