Joy Street

Joy Street is a heartwarming novel by Frances Parkinson Keyes that tells the story of a young girl named Sarah who grows up on Joy Street in New Orleans during the early 1900s. Sarah is the daughter of a wealthy family and lives a privileged life, but she is also deeply affected by the racial and social injustices that she witnesses around her. As she grows older, Sarah becomes increasingly aware of the inequalities in her city and begins to question her own privilege and the role she can play in creating a more just society. Along the way, she meets a diverse cast of characters, including a young African American girl named Bessie who becomes her close friend and confidant. Through Sarah's journey, readers are invited to explore themes of race, class, and social justice, and to reflect on the ways in which we can all work towards a more equitable world. With its engaging characters, vivid setting, and powerful message, Joy Street is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
