Cassie is entering her last year of high school in Jackson, Mississippi and her older brother Stacey is driving his first car. After a family trip to Memphis, a sequence of events, including pregnancy, death and the intrusions of Pearl Harbor and World War II wreaks havoc on the family, threatening to separate them from each other, perhaps forever. Drawing upon their strength as a family and the support of their community, the Logans fight for survival, particularly Cassie, who dreams of becoming a lawyer. The Road to Memphis won the 1991 Coretta Scott King Award. Product Description: Cassie Logan, a young black woman in 1940s Mississippi, becomes caught up in a tense confrontation between blacks and whites--three days of turmoil and unrest that will change her life forever.

Read More Rating: - Cassie LoganI would recommend this book because it speaks the truth and it doesn't hold anything back. I think that people who came from this background would like the story because it's our nature. It's easier for people who came from a similar background; it would be easier to understand. Some are used to hearing real southern slang 24/7. They can get into depth as I did, and relate to the story. They can read," in between the lines", the message is more clearly sent. This book was so real and you felt like ... Read More Rating: - ?????????????Is there a sequel? What happens to Moe? Do Moe and Cassie ever get married? What does Soloman do next?
