Notes

Description
In 1952 eleven-year-old Azalea is sent to Paris Junction, Arkansas, to help out her grandmother who has injured her foot, but does not really seem to want her help; Billy Wong, a Chinese-American boy whose uncle owns the local grocery store, in town to attend the "white" school since the Chinese mission school has closed, is frustrated by the overt prejudice of the local children. Over the summer the two begin to forge a friendship.
