Description Kenda, a na ve teacher from upstate New York, journeys to Mississippi in 1970 on a quest to change the world and escape an abusive fianc .
Even though Magnolias don\'t Bloom in September, they do blossom in their own season, just as Kenda and her students do..
She makes a difference in her students\' lives, and they change her.
Kenda\'s persistence sees her through challenges and even a lawsuit, and her new friends offer unexpected wisdom and understanding.
Over time, Kenda learns the ways of the segregated South through friendships she creates in unlikely places.
Her teacher\'s salary isn\'t enough to pay the rent; she moonlights in a hospital lab.
Her challenges go beyond the classroom.
She quickly learns that, even when equality becomes the law, culture prevails--a culture she knows little about.
When she starts working at a newly integrated junior high school, Kenda is greeted with a Confederate flag and a "Yankee Go Home" sign.
