So far.

Yes, same events, such a different perspective. I found that a hard book to read–you really see why civil rights activists in the deep south had battle fatigue symptoms. I do speculate as to whether Strachan got some of her details from talking with actual volunteers, but Joan Trumpauer Mulholland sounds much more of an activist than Polly.

Your main character sounds like a fictionalized Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, who was one of the students, alongside Anne Moody, in that famous Woolworth’s sit-in at which students had food dumped on their heads.
