Dancing in Cadillac Light
What's This Book About
1968 looks like it’ll be a pretty good year for Jaynell Lambert. The town’s going to pave the dirt road she lives on, her girly-girl sister, Racine, isn’t driving her completely crazy, and Grandpap has just moved in with his new emerald green Cadillac convertible. Jaynell and Grandpap have something special. But why won’t Grandpap tell her the reason he visits with the dirt-poor Pickens family on the other side of town? When Jaynell finds out Grandpap’s secret, the legacy of an old man transforms a family, and a town. “At once gritty and poetic, stark and sentimental . . . a solid page turner. Holt once again displays her remarkable gift.”(School Library Journal, starred review)
