" To use Berniece Rabe's own words, this is a book "reaching above her raising." Beyond the vividness of place, the drama of the plot, and the clear portraits of the cast of characters, there are the colors and shades of hopes, dreams, and values that make life worth living. Set in a Depression-era rural community, all the pressures of that time come to bear on the Whitley family, young Rass, and his friend, Mr. McMulty, a black man. When forces of nature help to unleash and spotlight the unfairness of a prejudiced society, Rass must decide what's right and whether he can act in the face of fear. Young people, their parents, and teachers will find this book a point of departure for many conversations about love, loyalty, family, and friendships. They will learn a lot about history, real life on farms, how and why class and race struggles formed, and why family is important. Most of all they may come to understand the ebb and flow of circumstance, and how such ebb and flow in their own lives might cause them to compromise themselves even though they don't mean to. This wisdom may serve them the rest of their lives--and isn't that all we can ask of a book?--K.M."
I couldn't have said it better myself. -- B. Rabe
