Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Why is the land so important to Cassie's family? It takes the events of one turbulent year--the year of the night riders and the burnings, the year a white girl humiliates Cassie in public simply because she is black--to show Cassie that having a place of their own is the Logan family's lifeblood. It is the land that gives the Logans their courage and pride, for no matter how others may degrade them, the Logans possess something no one can take awayTaylor, Mildred D. is the author of 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry', published 2004 under ISBN 9780807206782 and ISBN 0807206784.
