The Sweet Gum Tree
For eight-year-old Alix French, the precocious darling of a revered southern family, sweet tea, corn bread, and soup beans are regular fare. The day she met 10-year-old Nick Anderson, a child from the wrong side of town, was anything but typical. Alix treats the obvious signs of a recent beating on his back with only a tin of bee balm and steely resolve. This action alters both of their lives forever.
