Amelia
A historical fiction packed with humor and wit. Doris is a 17 year old from a small town near Atlanta who finds herself pregnant with no desire, and capacity to have the baby. She reaches out to her English teacher Ms. Lucas for help. Ms. Lucas says she knows someone in ATL who can help. What ensues is a weekend trip to ATL packed with historical relevance (she meets MLK jnr, and his wife, joins a meeting about the famous sit-ins in Atlanta). She also learns a lot about real life, has a sexual awakening of sorts..she essentially has a weekend to remember. Doris has been raised ultra religious and her view of life is challenged by this weekend in ATL. She’s a character I won’t soon forget, with her funny quotes and biblical references!
