SAMPLE EXCERPT:
?What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book??
What inspired Anna Jean Mayhew to write The Dry Grass of August happened to her a long time ago. However, it took her thirty years before she was able to write about it. When the ?color line? was removed from the Charlotte, North Carolina city buses, the parents of Anna Jean Mayhew told her that if a ?colored? person would sit beside her on the bus, she should immediately get off or at least transfer to another seat. In 1957, Anna Jean Mayhew was working as a lifeguard for the summer. She had blue eyes, a deep tan and her hair was almost white from being exposed to the sun. While riding the bus, a ?colored? woman sat beside her. Immediately, she recalled what her parents lectured her on if this instance would occur. However, she felt that it would be rude to transfer to another seat. So, she stayed where she was seated. Eventually, she glanced down on the arm rest where her arm was resting beside that of the woman?s. She realized that her tanned arms were darker than the arms of the ?colored? woman...
