Ghostly girl
“I was just a child that Christmas in 1958.          
What I saw and heard changed everything.
And Ion't ever forget. No one should.”

“The more things change,
the more they stay the same.
Until we change them for good."

The heart of Dixie reveals a starkly different reality from her New England white Christmas, thrusting Marie into a world of racism, poverty, and hatred she
never knew existed.
