Even Ground

About the Book

Even Ground explores how Olivia Dominoe, a 9-year-old African American girl, copes and draws strength from a developmental disability. Her perception that she is a financial strain on her parents and the stress of moving to a new city hurt her deeply. She must also confront problems stemming from her ethnicity and a dangerous bully. It will take inner strength, the love of her parents, and support of a new friend for Olivia to stand on even ground with her peers. Even Ground is a story that will inspire, and teach young people to appreciate difference and diversity.
