But I really enjoyed it! Do not get it. Returning to the United States, Ms. Very real, humane, truthful. Review garnered from "SittieCates Loves Stories" at I enjoyed reading this book because the characters were richly portrayed. Mildred Taylor was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and grew up in Toledo, Ohio. Written in a somber tone, it carries the weight of a world heavy with social injustice. The Logan family struggles with money and the selling of their crops.
However, many families have nowhere else to shop. And it is also Cassie's story—Cassie Logan, an independent girl who discovers over the course of an important year why having land of their own is so crucial to the Logan family, even as she learns to draw strength from her own sense of dignity and self-respect. The book gives many detailed examples of what happened in these times, though fictional it really opens your eyes. Not just like a little annoying but I mean FULL ON ANNOYING.
