It's been a long time since I've read about the Logan family, and after reading this, I think I may go back to read the books that missed. This book is the story of Cassie and her family from WWII through the Civil Rights Movement. It is a testament to the strength of Black Americans and a well-written narrative that illustrates how widespread racism in America always has been and how the realities of WWII helped pushed the Civil Rights movement into being. It's a long book with many horrifying, terrifying, and saddening moments. But, it is also a book with love, success, and so many other wonderful movements throughout. This book is for all readers—historical fiction lovers, realistic fiction lovers, adults, and teens would especially love this one.
