About the book
A National Book Award nominee in 1975, Ludell is the first book in a ground-breaking trilogy about a young African American girl growing up during the 1950s in a small Georgia town. Ludell Wilson is a bookworm and burgeoning writer who adores her best friend Ruthie Mae, her loving - but strict! - grandmother and, of course, the new shoes and television her mom sent from New York. But Ludell's grandmother has to wash floors to support them, and Ruthie Mae's sister is a mother at 16. Would life be different if she, like her mother, one day left to go to the big city?
