Lauren Moffit is privileged and overprotected by her wealthy parents. She is one of the few African American students in a prestigious prep school in a predominately white neighborhood. The world is her oyster. Nothing can prepare her for the devastating scandal that rocks her world when her father is charged with investment fraud. Spoiled and self-centered, she struggles to keep her head high. But it's not until she hears the stories of the people in the park, where she takes her daily run, that Lauren realizes she can rise above her family "situation."

Margaree K. Mitchell is the award-winning author of books for children, teens, and adults. She is the author of Uncle Jed’s Barbershop (Simon & Schuster), Granddaddy’s Gift (Scholastic), When Grandmama Sings (HarperCollins), The People In The Park (Watershed Books), and Woman In The Pulpit (Castlewood Books). Uncle Jed’s Barbershop has been adapted into an award-winning musical featuring Broadway veteran Ken Prymus as Uncle Jed.

In her historical fiction books for children, Mitchell uses history to encourage students to shoot for the stars with aspirations for their lives. However, her young adult novel has a contemporary setting. In The People In The Park Mitchell explores what happens in the lives of teens when something devastating happens through no fault of their own. And after listening to female ministers talk about their experiences, Mitchell wrote her new novel, Woman In The Pulpit, to show the challenges women in the ministry face as they seek to carry out their calling.

Mitchell hopes to inform, entertain, and inspire children and adults through her books. Born and raised in Mississippi, she infuses the rich heritage of the South into her books.

I think the novel "The People In The Park" is a great book to read.
It is definitely a page turner. I started reading the book and I just
couldn't put it down. I was on pins and needles wondering what will
happen next. This book will make for a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept Me On The Edge of My Seat
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014
I've read a lot of books in my life, but THIS particular book is the best ever, hands down!

The author uses wit, mystery and emotion to pen this masterpiece of a novel. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

In fact, I usually read books one chapter at a time to ensure that I soak everything in, but once I started reading The People In The Park, I could not not put it down. It's that good!!!

I can definitely see this book turned into a movie. I give this book two thumbs up.

Margaree King Mitchell has a loyal fan in me.

I can't wait to see what she releases next.

Simply put: If you're looking for a great novel to read and you're thinking about buying this book.......Think no more and be like Nike: Just Do It!

I promise you'll be glad that you did.
