Reviewer: Ariana Barrett - favorite favorite favorite favorite - May 21, Subject: lol Honestly, I feel pretty neutral about this book. It's not something that I would seek out and read in my free time, but for an assignment in class, it's interesting. Better than Pride and Prejudice. The comments about this being a racist book make me laugh. Thats done on purpose, people! It's pretty much a realistic fiction about an African American family after the Civil War, when slavery was abolished.
During that time period, racism was really bad, and the author, who is a black woman by the way, wanted to convey just how bad it was. Reviewer: Cooper Whippo - favorite favorite favorite favorite - March 10, Subject: its a preetty good book its great the audio is clear but the book progress is never saved so its just keeps restarting when I'm off of it for a while but at the end it is very sad.

In her tenth book, Mildred Taylor completes her sweeping saga about the Logan family of Mississippi, which is also the story of the civil rights movement in America of the 20th century.
Cassie Logan, first met in Song of the Trees and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, is a young woman now, searching for her place in the world, a journey that takes her from Toledo to California, to law school in Boston, and, ultimately, in the 60s, home to Mississippi to participate in voter registration.
She is witness to the now-historic events of the century: the Great Migration north, the rise of the civil rights movement, preceded and precipitated by the racist society of America, and the often violent confrontations that brought about change.
Rich, compelling storytelling is Ms. Taylor's hallmark, and she fulfills expectations as she brings to a close the stirring family story that has absorbed her for over forty years. It is a story she was born to tell.
