This historical fiction story takes place in Mississippi in the 1930s in a small community. Jeremy Simms watches from the porch of the general store as the weekly bus from Jackson comes through his town. There are African American neighbors who board the bus, along with white folks. Soon the African Americans are forced off the bus due to too few seats for all the white folks. Minutes later, tragedy strikes which brings the community together in a way that no one imagined. A short, but insightful read about old segregation practices in Mississippi. This tale of Josias and his family being kicked off the bus for a white family to ride because the bus was full shows that not all bad things that happen are worth fighting over. Josias wanted to argue, but was thrown off the bus which then crashed off the local bridge killing all those aboard. He then realized that his life was spared by not being on that bus. Josias saying, "Onliest thing I know is the good book, it say the Lord He work in mighty mysterious ways." We should all take a lesson to heart from this book in how we treat others. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
