2020., Adolescent, Viking Call No: HISTORICAL F TAY Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "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."--Goodreads.com.

Twelve-year-old Joan Barnes considers freedom her birthright as the child of upper middle class Yankee Catholics in Mississippi. C.J. Evans was born to a life of cleaning whitefolks' houses and freedom is what she holds in her heart and can't be taken from her.
