Drawing upon their strength as a family and support of the community, the Logans fight for survival. Life is frustrating for Cassie, 17, her brother Stacey, and their friends, who still need to defend themselves to the white people they encounter. One of Cassie's friends, realizes he must leave Mississippi rather than face an unfair ``justice'' system. Cassie realizes that as an adult she will have to make her own decisions and fight her own battles. Cassie's dream of becoming a lawyer and looming WWII raise questions regarding the white-controlled legal system and the injustice of fighting a war that sustains the status-quo, questions that have no easy answers.
