| Summary: | Hattie Mae hails from Seed County, North Carolina. She knows hard milking cows, plucking chickens, minding the garden. Her hands are made for manual labor -- her feet for dirt -- that is according to Lisa and some of the other girls at Miss Abigail's School for Exceptional Young Ladies in Philadelphia. Hattie could never be a doctor or a scientist or anyone worthy cause she's a hick from the South. Hattie is afraid they might be right. She sticks out like a sore thumb from the way she dresses to the way she eats to the way she carries herself. Hattie has more in common with the hundreds of Black folks pouring into the city looking for better opportunities away from Jim Crow's South. She doesn't belong and doubts that she ever will. |
