Summary: Winnie is left alone on Grove Street when her best friend moves away. As summer dwindles, the Garber family, who are black, move into the all-white neighborhood. Determined to be welcoming, Winnie faces unexpected challenges when the Garber kids seek genuine friendship, not just neighborly gestures. Can Winnie bridge the gap and redefine what it means to be a true friend in a community resistant to change?
