The saga of the Logan family--made famous in the Newbery Medal-winning
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry--concludes in a long-awaited and deeply
fulfilling story. 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.
