Storytime at Square Books, Jr.
with Juanita Floyd & Sara Berry
It was the summer of 1969, and things were about to change in the life of Cozett Juanita Gambrel. Integration of public schools had begun, and she would be the only black child in her new class. Her wise mother spent the summer laying the foundation of strength and love which would be needed to face the changes. "Bring forth the heart of a child, dear Lord," her mother prayed each night for she knew the pure heart of a child did not see race but only love and friendship. This endearing story is based on the real life account of Juanita Gambrel Floyd. The lessons contained within these pages are for all people, no matter the race, no matter the age.

The Which Way Tree is the story of young Samantha and her unshakeable resolve to stalk and kill an infamous panther and avenge her mother's death. In their quest she and her brother Benjamin, now orphaned, enlist a charismatic Tejano outlaw and a haunted, compassionate preacher with an aging but relentless tracking dog. As the members of this unlikely posse hunt the panther, they are in turn pursued by a hapless but sadistic Confederate soldier with troubled family ties to the preacher and a score to settle.
