Publisher's Synopsis
Father always said that years of thinking a thing not wrong gives it the appearance of being right. I believe he had quoted something that Thomas Paine had written years ago and although the quote is a little less than accurate the statement is a true and honest depiction of how life was in Waverly, Kentucky in the fifties and sixties. No one questioned why the colored people lived in one section of town or why their children attended a different school or even why colored people took care of white children but never the other way around. It was the way it had been for as long as anyone could remember and therefore it was exactly the way it should be and "It had the appearance of being right." This is the story of a small town on the banks of the Ohio River and a friendship between two young girls that was so strong that neither time nor circumstance could erase.
