She's always been driven to make a difference in the world, and what better way than to vote in her first election? \u003cbr\u003eDuke Crenshaw is so done with this election. He just wants to get voting over with so he can prepare for his band's first paying gig tonight. \u003cbr\u003eOnly problem? Duke can't vote. \u003cbr\u003eWhen Marva sees Duke turned away from their polling place, she takes it upon herself to make sure his vote is counted. She hasn't spent months doorbelling and registering voters just to see someone denied their right. And that's how their whirlwind day begins, rushing from precinct to precinct, cutting school, waiting in endless lines, turned away time and again, trying to do one simple thing: vote. They may have started out as strangers, but as Duke and Marva team up to beat a rigged system (and find Marva's missing cat), it's clear that there's more to their connection than a shared mission for democracy. \u003cbr\u003eRomantic and triumphant, \u003ci\u003eThe Voting Booth\u003c\/i\u003e is proof that you can't sit around waiting for the world to change...but some things are just meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandy Colbert\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of\u003ci\u003e Little \u0026amp; Lion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePointe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFinding Yvonne\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Revolution of Birdie Randolph\u003c\/i\u003e.
