More importantly, it is an interesting read about one young woman from the North and several locals of Pineyville, Mississippi trying to make a small change with voters rights. Such a tragedy being better described, and at least partially solved would have left much more of an impact for me as a reader.

FRESHWATER ROAD is a novel that explores the experiences of Celeste Tyree, an African American woman in her late teens, a student at the University of Michigan, who had left Ann Arbor to work as a volunteer in Mississippi during the 'Freedom Summer' of 1964 as part of the 'One Man One Vote' project to encourage and help African Americans there to register to vote. Nicholas, who herself was involved in the Civil Rights movement, does an admirable job of portraying how much was risked by these volunteers for such uncertain and often small outcomes. Nicholas also really immerses you in the world of Mississippi--the heat, the poverty, the segregation and unspoken rules that existed between Blacks and Whites at the time. Finding inner strength as she helps lift the veil of oppression and learns valuable lessons about race, social change, and violence, Celeste prepares her adult students for their showdown with the county registrar.It was a well told account of a northern college student compelled to leave her comfortable northern home to do what she had to do.
