RIP Cicely Tyson. I‘m not sure if I ever read the book, but the@movie made me ugly cry.
This book is a Historical Fiction book that was published in 1969. The book was great and interesting throughout. The length of the book is great for those who are starting to read chapter books, and allows for one to reflect on the history within the book.
The book explains the struggles of black family. One of the struggles that the reader is introduced to in the beginning is that the father in the family is imprisoned because he stole a ham.
