Winner of the Newbery Medal, this remarkably moving novel has impressed the hearts and minds of millions of readers.

Set in Mississippi at the height of the Depression, this is the story of one family's struggle to maintain their integrity, pride, and independence in the face of racism and social injustice. 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.

* "[A] vivid story.... Entirely through its own internal development, the novel shows the rich inner rewards of black pride, love, and independence."—Booklist, starred review

Growing up can be hard, with almost impossible lessons to learn. Children growing up in the South needed to learn some survival lessons, such as when to speak up, and when to remain silent. The prejudice was so real it could become deadly quickly.
Mildred Taylor takes us through a culture of violence and prejudice, and some tools in how to survive these atrocities in strength and grace. The night riders were real. But there were also others who refused to take part in such activities. Tawdry drinking establishments were just as real, but there were some who learned to avoid those traps. There were traps of vengeance, of easy money, of false friendships.
The children in this family also learned to stand for what was right, even when it cost them dearly.
We could all learn these lessons, no matter the color of our skin. These are transferrable values, how to stand for righteousness and justice, what makes up a true friendship, even how to make honorable living work when everything seems to lean the other way.
I would recommend this book, not only for this historical value in the black-vs-white issues that still plague our nation, but in how to be honorable when all those about you seem dead set against you.
I have heard that one elementary school has chosen to remove this award-winning book from its library. That is a shameful decision.
As a result of that decision, I chose to buy the book and review it. It is a book well worth reading, one that still speaks to our time.

My 13 year old daughter found Cassie to be a compelling and passionate character in an unfair cruel world. It also gave her a different perspective on the civil war.
