Sequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (Also listed on my bookshelf)
For the Logan family, it is a frightening and turbulent time. First, their friend T.J. must go on trial for murder--and confront an all-white jury. Then Cousin Suzella tries to pass for white, with humiliating consequences. And when Cassie's neighbor, Mrs. Lee Annie, stands up for her right to vote, she and her family are driven from their home. Other neighbors are destroyed and shattered by the greed of landowners. But through it all, Cassie and the Logans stand together and stand proud--proving that courage, love, and understanding can defy even the deepest prejudice.
