I think I read this book back in high school. I am now in my 50's and I was a little shocked at the use of the "N" word. I know that is how people talked then, but it has always been unacceptable to me. I enjoyed the trial description and marveled at how the children were able to attend the trial without their father knowing they were there. I grew up in a small mountain town so I could relate to some of the "mountain" talk. Great to read it with a new perspective!
