Abby and Ellie were the best of friends, but when Ellie tried on Granny Abigail's slave shoes, she began to TRULY understand, and appreciate her best friend. Abigail's Shoes take Ellie on an adventure in African American history; experiencing the lives of Abigail's decendents throughout the decades in Mississippi. It is a wonderful journey that only happens when "we walk a mile in someone else's shoes"!
