A boy who stutters comes-of-age in the segregated South, during the summer that changes his life.

She pieced together brightpatches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches withsecret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways -- maps forslaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a littlegirl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie-- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sewbeautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read.
