"Why is the land so important to Cassie's family? It takes the events of one turbulent year--the year of the night riders and the burning, the year a white girl humiliates Cassie in public simply because she is black--to show Cassie that having a place of their own is the Logan family's lifeblood. It is the land that gives the Logans their courage and pride, for no matter how others may degrade them, the Logans possess something no one can take away" Set in 1933 in Spokane, Mississippi. The Logans, the only black family who own their land, wage a courageous struggle to remain independent, displeasing a white plantation-owner bent on taking their land.
