Storytelling plays a similar role for Cassie in the book. She says that from his storytelling, she learned to respect the past, to respect my own heritage and myself. It is a story of physical survival, but more important, it is a story of the survival of the human spirit.

Set in Mississippi at the height of the Depression, it is the story of one family's struggle to maintain their integrity, pride, and independence.
