"Leaving Lymon" by Lesa Cline-Ransome tells the poignant story of a young boy named Lymon who dreams of a life beyond his small Southern town. As he grapples with issues of race, identity, and the constraints of his environment in the 1960s, Lymon yearns for freedom and a brighter future. He finds inspiration in the tales of his grandmother and the struggles of those around him. This coming-of-age novel beautifully explores themes of hope, resilience, and the bittersweet nature of growing up, as Lymon learns that leaving home can be both an exciting adventure and a heartbreaking journey.
