Uncle Jed's barbershop

   

Uncle Jed's Barbershop is the story of Sarah Jean and her favorite uncle, Jed. Uncle Jed is the only Black barber in the county and he travels all over giving people haircuts while trying to save money so he can open his own barbershop. Though he faces many struggles (Sarah Jean getting sick, the Great Depression), he is eventually able to open his own barbershop and fulfill his dream.

I really like this book because of that about a time you wanted something badly, but you had to wait for it. Am I still waiting ? I will recall Uncle Jed's dream came true when he was 79 years old.
