reviewed Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry: And Related Readings (Literature Connections) on
Taylor is master story teller This story is based on her own famiy's lif .

It explores the brutal realities of a land owning black family living in Mississippi in the 1930's . By turns heartbreaking and envigorating. Though written for a young audience she uses sophisticated language and themes.

One of the few books that I feel must be read and certainly before encountering another classic To Kill a Mocking Bird.
