Ten-year-old Ludelphia Bennett has only ever known the log cabins, orange dirt, and cotton fields of her small sharecropping community. But when Mama gets deathly ill, Ludelphia does something drastic – she leaves Gee’s Bend for the very first time. Mama needs medicine badly, medicine that can only be found in Camden, over forty miles away. It’s a dangerous journey, but Ludelphia weathers each challenge in a way that would make Mama proud, including documenting her journey – her story – in a new quilt for Mama as she goes along. In the end, Ludelphia’s courageous adventure saves the day for Mama and all of Gee’s Bend.
