Vera Maye Shipps is a 19-year old trombone player who yearns to do something important to fight for women's voting rights.
There's not much opportunity in the rural area where she lives.
But then, as a member of the Missouri Ladies Military Band , she is invited to travel 1,000 miles by train to lead a 1913 suffrage parade in Washington, D.
When the parade route is blocked by a group of men, Maye and the other band members must act fast to stir the course of history.
This narrative nonfiction book is based on real people and a real event.
