Silent Ties, (Paperback)

Everyone in the Jim Crow South followed the rules set by society; everyone but Missy and Addie. Their friendship began in innocence, hidden behind the walls of two sharecropper cottages and in the field between them. How will age and time change that relationship? Will it end in betrayal?
The spotlight shines on Missy as she discovers secrets about her and Addie that could hurt all of them. A sheltered girl of the times, she is often confused about what is happening around her, yet she clings to one thing: her friendship with Addie. As they navigate the dangers that were a fact of life in Alabama during that time, we see how fear and self-preservation affect all the characters. Can Missy resist society, or will she finally conform and reject her friend?
