The main character, Mary, is a young woman who has just graduated from college and returns to her hometown to teach at the local school. She is full of idealism and hopes to make a positive impact on the lives of her students.As Mary settles into her new life, she becomes aware of the many challenges facing the town. The local economy is struggling, and many families are living in poverty. There is also a growing sense of tension between the different social classes in the community. Mary is determined to do what she can to help, and she becomes involved in various social and educational initiatives.One of the most significant challenges facing Mary is the issue of racial inequality. The town is deeply divided along racial lines, and there is a history of discrimination and violence against the African American community. Mary becomes friends with a young black girl named Lizzie, and she is shocked to learn about the injustices that Lizzie and her family have faced. Mary becomes determined to fight for racial equality and to challenge the prejudice and discrimination that she sees around her.The Light Above The Cross Roads is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of social justice, racial inequality, and the power of education to bring about change.
