I thoroughly enjoyed this short novel set in the South in the 1960's. Alice is turning 11. She has moved to her Grandma's town because her health is failing. The neighbor is an elderly black woman. Through their dog-walking routine, Alice and Miss Millie become great friends and they each learn of the other's troubles: Alice and her missing father, and Miss Millie and the struggle of blacks in the South during that time. It is a beautiful story of friendship. (FIC BUN)
