A note for parents
This is the tenth and final book in Mildred D. Taylor's acclaimed Logan family saga, following Cassie Logan as a young adult navigating the civil rights era. The novel addresses historical racism, segregation, and civil rights activism with emotional depth and moral clarity, making it most appropriate for mature teens. While violence and mature themes are present in historically authentic ways, the book's primary strength lies in its powerful positive messages about courage, justice, and resilience, alongside exemplary character development and educational value about American history.

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.
