Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In 1969, nineteen-year-old Jacqueline leaves Port Arthur, Texas, armed with a suitcase, a Bible, and her father's sobering warning about race relations in America. Raised in a disciplined, faith-filled family that built its own business complex in the shadow of Jim Crow, Jacqueline has been taught to "start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can."But leaving home means confronting more than college classes. It means reconciling her private dreams of love, marriage and family with her father's ambition that she become a lawyer to fight injustice. It means surviving humiliations of segregation, a devastating surgical mistake that steals her voice, and seasons of loneliness that test her faith. Through it all-through disability, discrimination, and doubt-grace proves stronger than circumstance.Can Anything Good Come Out of Jim Crow? is a powerful story of legacy, resilience, and agape love-a testament that from the hardest soil, something beautiful can indeed grow.
