Description

It’s 1963 in Flint, Michigan, and ten-year-old Kenny’s peaceful world is about to turn upside down.  His parents are planning a family road trip to take his rebellious older brother, Byron, to Birmingham to learn some manners from strict Grandma Sands.  In this relatable, funny, and touching story of an African-American family, tragedy turns to hope and faith.
