It's the sticky-hot summer of 1968, and in the American Deep South it's a time of home-made lemonade and The Beatles on the radio, but also civil rights rioting and Vietnam war protests. Even for Alice the storm clouds are gathering.
Her mother's new boyfriend crashed into Alice's life and upsets the delicate balance of the household with his prejudiced attitudes towards Edna, the maid, and Doc, the family gardener. Alice desperately wants to do what's right, and she knows she has some had choices to make...
Flying South is a captivating coming-of-age story about the power of friendship and truth.
