Thanks to Mrs. Wesley, a neighbor who sees beyond Abigail's failure at school, we have a vivid down to earth diary of Abigail's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"You have excellent recall, Abigail.... You are studying grammar, spelling, and word choice, but I am studying you. You are not simple at all, but very complex. I have understood for some time that you listen almost exclusively to yourself, while silently taking in a great deal of understanding. I believe that your intense drive to write is a way to release thoughts - of getting out of yourself, because for you talking is not enough. It's like you invented your own way to get out of your vernacular prison.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the story of family life on the farm, love and loss, and her growing thirst for knowledge. The observation of prejudice and injustice where she lives, in a sundown town, determines her life's commitment. Overcoming personal hurdles, Abigail fulfills her dream to become a teacher and librarian in a black community, to do her part in the struggle to see the sundown of inequality in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Parmenter Welty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8860300568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798860300569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.35d","brand":"Parmenter Welty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583798538495,"sku":"9798860300569","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_236f1204-2d10-4bd1-8045-71a65f8c2f02.jpg?v=1701883606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sundown-parmenter-welty-9798860300569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
