Free-Style (Entry 22)

So I just started "On the Occasion of My Last Afternoon" by Kaye Gibbons. It is about the life of a girl named Emma. From the start of the book it is evident that her father is very racist, he kills one of his slave but tries saying he didn't mean to do it. So far it doesn't seem like anyone really believes him. You can tell that the cook, Clarice, also a slave, knows things about Emma's dad that no one else does. She takes it into her own hands to try and repair the damage he has done so the slaves do not revolt. Emma seems very close to Clarice and skeptical of her father, however, very naive. I am interested to see how the book works out.
