Title: CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?
Review: When Peggy Dana was a very young child, she saw her father struck and killed by a speeding vehicle. In addition to growing up living with that horrible memory, she is also forced to live with a guilt-producing, self-centered mother and a lazy, sexually-abusive stepfather.At age sixteen, Peggy finishes high school and leaves Pittsburgh to attend college in Maryland (against her mother's wishes). Because her family will be unable to assist her financially, Peggy attends college on a basketball scholarship. She also saves money by living with a local, older couple in their home at 22 FRIAR STREET.Not until Peggy arrives a the home of the couple, does she realize that they are African Americans. The differences in their racial backgrounds, predjudices and expectations are quickly surfaced.Yet each side learns from the other and thrives. This is an unusual story of deep caring, understanding and the puting aside of racial differences to become a family.
