Curb Service is a novel written by Elizabeth Fowler Draper. The book is set in the 1960s and follows the story of a young African American girl named Myrtle who works as a carhop at a drive-in restaurant in a small town in the South. Myrtle dreams of leaving her hometown and going to college, but she faces many obstacles along the way. The novel explores themes of race, class, and gender, as Myrtle navigates the challenges of living in a society that is deeply divided by these issues. She faces discrimination and prejudice from both white and black people, and struggles to find her place in the world. Despite the difficulties she faces, Myrtle is determined to achieve her dreams and make a better life for herself. She is a strong and resilient character who learns to stand up for herself and fight for what she believes in. Curb Service is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the Civil Rights movement and the struggles of African Americans during this time period. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, social justice, and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
