Summary
When Odessa, a quietly dignified woman, honors the 1955 Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott by walking an exhausting nine miles to and from work, Miriam, her employer, offers her a ride. Defying both Miriam's racist husband and the powerful White Citizen's Council, Miriam and Odessa put their lives in danger for civil rights.
