The year is 1920 during the time of high segregation in Dillion, Texas. We see the struggle that has taken place through the recollection of the main character Rose Lee. In the summer of Rose’s twelfth year she overhears the terrible secret while being a house maid at the Bell residence with her older cousin Cora. As Rose serves Mrs. Bell and her ladies high tea she overhears that the white community is going to uproot Freedom Town and put in Freedom Town’s place a city park.
