      title = {The outskirts of hope : based on the journals of her  mother, Aura Kern Kruger /},
      abstract = {In 1967, when Jo Ivester was ten years old, her father  transplanted his young family from a suburb of Boston to a  small town in the heart of the Mississippi cotton fields,  where he became the medical director of a clinic that  served the poor population for miles around. But ultimately  it was not Ivester's father but her mother - a stay-at-home  mother of four who became a high school English teacher  when the family moved to the South - who made the most  enduring mark on the town. In The Outskirts of Hope,  Ivester uses journals left by her mother, as well as  writings of her own, to paint a vivid, moving, and  inspiring portrait of her family's experiences living and  working in an all-black town during the height of the civil  rights movement.},
