White Lilacs by Carolyn Meyer
I predict that . . . the Jefferson family will have many more harsh times ahead. I think this because they are already struggling to bring home enough money to get by. And I also think that Henrys attitude will get him in trouble and put more stress on the family.
If this was a movie I'd title it . . . Freedom, unless it was narrated then I would use White Lilacs because you would need to here Rose Lee's thoughts to understand the title White Lilacs. I also think that the movie would be more interesting if it was narrated.
If you reversed . . . the point of view from Rose Lee to Catherine Jane the story wouldn't be as interesting. This would happen because the story would be about a black community from a white perspective.
The protagonist in WHITE LILACS is Rose Lee Jefferson.
