inspired by a true story

It is 1962 somewhere in the Deep South, and a young boy must sit in the back of the bus and drink from the "Colored" water fountain. Michael drinks the brackish water and imagines how good the ₁White₂ water must taste. Thus begins a journey of self-discovery that is based on a childhood experience of co-author Michael Bandy. When the boy finally discovers that the "white water" comes from the same rusty, gritty pipe as the "colored water", he confronts some of his assumptions and self-doubts
