Summary

"Most people know Coretta Scott King as the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr., the civil rights leader. Coretta's march on freedom's road made her a great leader, too. Alice Faye Duncan blends poetry and prose to follow Coretta from a challenging childhood in segregated Alabama, to music training in Boston, to her brave years as a wife, mother, and activist fighting for equal rights and her husband's legacy. Coretta's journey was dangerous, daring, and determined. As captured in R. Gregory Christie's powerful illustrations, her path was also a cosmic and colorful one, inspired by love and justice. Follow Coretta's courageous journey as she emerges from the shadows and steps into the light." --Book jacket
