" The high school integration in Little Rock, AK was the beginning of a courageous civil rights movement that would pioneer the equality in education. To fathom what the first group of African Americans students had to go through is mindboggling. The author, Melba Beals is an old friend of mine who never told me about this episode in her life until much later. Her accounts are factual although I found myself wanting more information. After reading this book, I felt a lack of completeness in the story nor emotionally absorbed into the history of the times. I would only recommend this book, if you are interested in the Little Rock integration struggle. "
