I think that Chamberlain dealt fairly with what is still an explosive issue. Although, we are appalled at the tactics used during this time period, the issues still exist. I taught in an area very similar to this book, with tobacco farms and the families who lived on them to work the farm. The children did not stand a chance, as generation after generation still do not finish high school, many barely pushed through the middle grades. Educating children and all that surrounds it has been close to my heart for decades and I think the author shined a gentle, but telling light on it.
