Bookroo's summary

Miss Elizabeth sits in her grandmother's rocker remembering Willie Rudd, the Black housekeeper who helped raise her fifty years ago in the segregated South. Thinking of the unfair way Willie was treated, she decides to write her a letter saying what she never said while Willie was alive: that she loved her.
