This story takes place in 1933, where black people weren't treated fair.This story has problems that the Logans face, and many happy parts too. Cassie (narrator) experiences being humiliated because of the color of her skin. The Logans are a combined family which includes Big Ma, Mama, Papa, Stacey, Cassie, Christopher- John, Little Man, and Mr.Morrison, a family friend who lives with them. In this book you will find happiness, sadness, and some violence, but most of all the Logan family working together through thick and thin.
