Sweeping Up Glass

This Sweeping Up Glass by Carolyn Wall was a sometimes confronting story of a woman, Olivia, living in Kentucky in the 1930s. She has had a difficult upbringing with a dysfunctional family, in a dysfunctional town. She is a white person who gets along well with the "coloureds" in the town, but at that time there are difficulties for many as they face racial prejudice. The suspense builds to a climax as Olivia learns the truth about some aspects of her life as she helps her best friend. A worthwhile read. 4/5
