Jo Ivester discusses The Outskirts of Hope. In 1967, when Jo was ten years old, her father transplanted his young family from a suburb of Boston to a small town in Mississippi. The Outskirts of Hope combines journals left by Jo’s mother, as well as writings of her own, to paint a vivid, moving, and inspiring portrait of her family’s experiences in an all-black town during the height of the civil rights movement.
