Краткое содержание сюжета
Семья Логан переживает тяжелые времена, пытаясь правильно воспитать своих детей. Т. Дж. Эйвери, друг Стейси, обвиняется в убийстве белого человека, Джима Ли Барнетта. Хотя он невиновен, его судят присяжные, состоящие только из белых, и он признан виновным. Стейси делает все возможное, чтобы помочь своему другу, но в итоге Т. Дж. приговаривают к смерти. Пока приближается наказание Т. Дж., Стейси убегает в поисках работы. Один человек пытается создать союз, чтобы объединить чернокожих и белых для совместной обработки хлопковых полей. Союз не удается, и человека, который хотел его создать, избивают. Некоторым людям приказывают выкорчевать уже посаженные посевы, объясняя это тем, что они посадили слишком много. Владельцы плантаций солгали, заявив, что это приказ правительства, но на самом деле они сделали это, чтобы получить деньги, предназначенные для батраков. Дочь кузена мамы, Бада, Сюзелла, у которой отец чернокожий, а мать белая, живет с Логанами. Сюзелла пользуется уважением за свою привлекательность и смешанное происхождение, что делает ее желанной для всех мужчин в городе, поскольку она технически считается чернокожей и, следовательно, доступной, но при этом обладает более светлой кожей, волосами и глазами, и ее можно принять за белую. Сюзелла испытывает проблемы с самоидентификацией, которые напрягают ее отношения с окружающими. Она привлекает внимание Стюарта Уокера, белого парня, который флиртует с красивыми цветными девушками, чтобы посеять раздор. Когда Стюарт подходит к ней, он искренне уважает ее, принимая за белую. Это тяжело сказывается на Стейси; он считает, что должен позаботиться о своей семье, прежде чем они потеряют свою землю. Он и его лучший друг Мо убегают на поле сахарного тростника, чтобы работать. С помощью мистера Джеймисона, белого адвоката, который относится к чернокожим с добротой и справедливостью, мама, папа и Кэролайн Логан (Большая Ма) связываются с полицейскими участками в соседних городах. Они адресуют письма от имени мистера Джеймисона, чтобы шерифы отреагировали на них. Мистер Джеймисон говорит, что если они увидят чернокожую фамилию на письмах, они, скорее всего, не ответят. Спустя семь месяцев они находят Стейси в нескольких часах езды, в тюрьме в маленьком городке в Луизиане. Стейси и Мо обвинили в краже, что привело их в тюрьму, где они заболели. Во время работы на тростниковом поле на ногу Стейси упал столб и сломал ее. Перед тем, как поехать домой, они заезжают к женщине, которая заботилась о Стейси и Мо, пока они были в тюрьме, и благодарят ее. Они остаются у нее на ночь и возвращаются домой на следующее утро.
The Logan family goes through hard times trying to raise their children the correct way. T. J. Avery, Stacey's friend, is accused of murdering a white man, Jim Lee Barnett. Although he is innocent, he is tried by an all white jury and convicted. Stacey does everything in his power to help his friend, but in the end, T. J. is sentenced to death. While T. J. 's punishment is approaching, Stacey runs away to find work. A man makes a file to join blacks and whites together so the cotton fields can be shared. The union does not succeed and the man who wanted to start it is beaten. Some people are told that they need to pull up the acres that were already planted because they planted too much. The plantation owners lied, claiming the government ordered it, but the plantation owners did it in order to receive money that was supposed to go to the sharecroppers. Mama's cousin Bud's daughter Suzella, who has a black father and a white mother, lives with the Logans. Suzella is venerated for being attractive and mixed, making her seem like a prize to all the males in the town because she is technically black and therefore accessible, but still has lighter skin, hair, and eyes; she can be assumed as white. Suzella struggles with identity issues that put a strain on her relationships with others. She catches the eye of Stuart Walker, a white boy who flirts with pretty colored girls to start trouble. When Stuart approaches her, he genuinely respects her, assuming she is white. This takes a great toll on Stacey; he believes he must take care of his family before they lose their land. He and his best friend Moe run away to a sugarcane field to work. With the help of Mr. Jamison, a white lawyer who is kind and fair to black people, Mama, Papa and Caroline Logan (Big Ma) contact police stations in the next couple of towns. They address the letters in Mr. Jamison's name so that when the sheriffs receive the letters they will respond. Mr. Jamison says that if they see a black family name on the letters they probably will not respond. Seven months later, they find Stacey several hours away, jailed in a small town in Louisiana. Stacey and Moe were accused of stealing which put them in jail, where they became ill. While Stacey was at the cane field, a pole rolled over his foot and broke it. Before they drive home, they stop by the house of a lady who took care of Stacey and Moe while they were in jail and thank her. They stay the night there and return home the next morning.
Семья Логан
Кэсси Логан – волевая девушка, готовая бороться за свои убеждения. История рассказывается от её лица. Она больше похожа на сорванца, который получает ценные жизненные уроки от отца, бабушки и Стейси. Кэсси десять лет, она учится в пятом классе. Стейси Логан: ему тринадцать лет, и он часто дает советы. Он также предстает как целеустремленный и любящий свою семью. Он уезжает из дома, чтобы найти работу на сахарных плантациях в Луизиане и заработать дополнительные деньги для семьи. Он сын Мэри и Дэвида Логана (мамы и папы). Стейси также чувствует ответственность за семью; он повзрослел, стал более эмоциональным и ревниво относится к своим близким, поэтому и отправляется на заработки в Луизиану. Кристофер Джон Логан: второй младший брат Стейси и Кэсси. Кристофер Джон известен тем, что всегда следует правилам и не любит идти против воли семьи или попадать в неприятности. Маленький Человек Логан (Клейтон Честер): самый младший брат Стейси и Кэсси. Он очень аккуратный и чистоплотный и не терпит дискриминации, хотя в своем юном возрасте еще не совсем понимает, что это такое. Дэвид Логан: отец детей Логанов, известный как Папа. Он работал на железной дороге и старается преподать своим детям жизненные уроки, чтобы уберечь их от беды. Мэри Логан: мать семейства Логанов. Раньше она работала учительницей, а теперь организует группы для изменения общества. Мэри – тетя кузена Бада, но кузен Бад скорее брат, так как он старше её на три года, и они выросли вместе. Кэролайн "Большая Ма" Логан: она мать Дэвида и Хаммера Логанов и бабушка детей Логанов. Она изображена как сильная и добросердечная женщина. Кэролайн Логан оказала большое влияние на Касси, передавая ей семейные истории и предания. Она помогает многим больным и тем, кого несправедливо обижают белые люди. Она глубоко религиозна и передала свои взгляды Касси. Кэролайн Логан также известна как Большая Ма. Она свекровь Мэри Логан, мать Дэвида и Хаммера Логанов. И, наконец, она бабушка Стейси, Кэсси, Кристофера Джона и, конечно, Маленького Человека. Дядя Хаммер: старший брат Дэвида Логана и дядя Кэсси. Он переехал в Чикаго до событий, описанных в саге о Логанах, из-за расизма в Миссисипи. Он вспыльчив, что, по мнению окружающих, не подобает чернокожему мужчине в эпоху Великой депрессии на Юге. Он несколько раз оказывал финансовую помощь семье (которую они втайне очень ценят).
Cassie Logan: A strong willed girl willing to fight for anything she believes in. The story takes place from her point of view. She is mainly a tomboy who learns valuable life lessons from her father, grandmother, and Stacey. Cassie is ten and in fifth grade. Stacey Logan: He is a 13 year old boy and gives plenty of advice. He is also portrayed as strong minded and loving towards his family. The reason why he leaves home is that he is trying to get a job at the cane fields in Louisiana to earn extra money for the family. He is the son of Mary and David Logan (Mama and Papa). Stacey also feels that it is his responsibility to take care of the family; he has grown up and has become more emotional and territorial towards his family, which is why he goes for the job in Louisiana. Christopher John Logan: Stacey and Cassie's second younger brother. Christopher John is notorious for being a rule follower and doesn't like going against the family's decisions and getting himself in trouble. Little Man Logan (Clayton Chester): Stacey and Cassie's youngest brother. He is very neat and tidy and does not like to be discriminated against even though he does not understand what that is at his young age. David Logan: The father of the Logan children, known as Papa. He worked on the railroad and tries to teach his children life lessons in hopes of keeping them get out of trouble. Mary Logan: The mother in the Logan family. She used to be a school teacher, but now she organizes groups to change society. Mary is Cousin Bud's aunt, but Cousin Bud is more like her brother since Bud is three years older than she is, and they grew up together. Caroline "Big Ma" Logan: She is the mother of David and Hammer Logan and the grandmother of the Logan children. She is portrayed as a strong and good natured woman. Caroline Logan has influenced Cassie Logan growing up by passing on the family stories and history to her. She helps many people who are sick and those who have been treated badly by white people. She is very religious and has passed her views to Cassie. Caroline Logan is otherwise known as Big Ma. She is the mother in law of Mary Logan, mother of David, and Hammer Logan. Last but not least, she is the grandmother of Stacey, Cassie, Christopher John, and of course, Little Man. Uncle Hammer: David Logan's older brother and Cassie's uncle. He moved to Chicago before the Logan saga because of the racism in Mississippi. He is portrayed as having a hair trigger temper, which is something a black man "isn't allowed to have" in the Depression era South. He provided financial assistance to the rest of the family several times (which they secretly appreciate).
