Set in Mississippi at the height of the Depression, this is the story of one family's struggle to maintain their integrity, pride, and independence in the face of racism and social injustice. And it is also Cassie's story—Cassie Logan, an independent girl who discovers over the course of an important year why having land of their own is so crucial to the Logan family, even as she learns to draw strength from her own sense of dignity and self-respect.

凯西•洛根一家都是黑人，自豪地住在密西西比自己的土地上，却经历了20世纪30年代各种各样的种族歧视。孩子们收到质量拙劣、废旧不堪的课本；他们亲眼看着3K党焚烧东西、恐吓黑人。他们还不得不为自己的土地而战。凯西一家的遭遇，只是大时代中的一个小小故事，种族间的冲突，到现在仍然继续在全世界发生。这些主人公是那样的可敬可佩，读过此书的人，都会领悟成长的感触。
