This coming of age historical fiction novella is told from the perspective of a young White boy who wants his Black friend to be able to swim with him in the city pool. But old customs die hard in a small segregationist Texas town. American segregation was supposed to end in 1964 with the passage of the Civil Rights Act. But in Texas, sometimes things happen a little slower. Slower like the delayed decree that slaves were freed by President Lincoln in 1863. News didn’t reach Texas until 1865—known as Juneteenth. Follow two eleven year old friends in the summer of 1971 as they try to make sense of the world they live in. The fence separating them is more than a metaphor for their lives inside and outside of The Pool.

The Pool KT Ashely 9780692459560 Books Reviews
I was taken back to my childhood growing up in East Texas, many experiences I thought only I knew about. The characters are well rounded . More than that they are indicative of how not all of us are of one race but a mixture of many, the problems of the 60's was not just race but also class. Grown up issues forced on to the shoulders of children. The issues of segregation leaving many whites on the other side of the "fence" as well. While I thought I knew what the outcome would be, it was an honest handling that most time the future is not solved in a summer.
Loved this true-to-life story and the education it opens up to those who lived it but especially to those who did not.
