I highly recommend this book to children, and adults. Not only does it express the pain of those who were so wrongfully mistreated, but also the joy of overcoming impossible odds to attain a dream. This is a very powerful story, especially knowing that it is based on the truth. Well done, Mildred D. Taylor. Your inner beauty matches the outer, and your skill as a writer is so clearly seen in your rich ability to weave all the emotions of rage, determination, love, and faith. Hats off to you on this fine work, and God bless you richly.
