      Chapter Two: Plot Overview

      Cassie Logan is the narrator of the story. She is an African American girl, studying in the sixth grade. The story is set in the Depression era in Mississippi. The narrator tells the story of her family, relatives, and friends.

      Her family has their own land. They happen to have inherited that land form their grandfather. Mr. Granger is a rich white landlord. He is always trying his best to take that land from the family.

      As the novel opens, Cassie and her family happen to be spending time with their friends and their neighbours. They are talking about the plight of T. J. Avery. T. J. Is so young but he is in an unfortunate situation. He happens to be a friend of her teenage brother Stacey.

      It is disclosed that T. J. is in prison on the charge of robbing and killing a white shopkeeper. Although their parents do not want Cassie and Stacy to go to the trial, they attend the trial with their friends.

      Mr. Jamison is T. J.’s white lawyer. He tries to convince the jury that it was true that the two white Simms brothers had incited T. J. to commit robbery but T. J. did not murder the shopkeeper. Although the clear evidence proves that T. J. did not murder the shopkeeper, the all white jury finds him guilty and sentence him to death.

      Mrs. Lee Annie happens to be the family’s elderly neighbour. Cassie spends a lot of time with her, reading to her. They also go to church and school. Her mother used to be a school teacher but Mr. Granger fired her for suspicious reasons. She keeps teaching children at different schools.

      It is a very difficult time for the farmers, sharecroppers, and landowners. The Depression has kind of stalled everything in economy. Her father is worried because he thinks that they will not be able to pay the tax on the cotton from their field. Stacey wants to work and help Papa, but he knows that he will not be allowed to work.

      One day, Missis Wheeler, a white man, and John Moses, a black man, visit Papa. They inform Papa that they want to organize poor farmers, so they have decided to start a union of the farmers.

      Papa happens to be a very well respected person. They need his support to organize the farmers. Papa thinks about it and then calls a meeting. Papa and the other black farmers attend that meeting. All of them agree that they needed a union, but the issue of mixed race troubles them.

      Uncle Hammer happens to be Papa’s brother. He visits Papa. He is mostly very elegantly dressed, driving his rich car. People admire his taste. When his niece and nephews see him, they are awed.

      One day, he scolds Cassie and Stacey because they had a picture of their white friend Jeremy with them.

      That day, in the presence of Uncle Hammer, Mama’s nephew Cousin Bud also visits the house. When he informs the family that he has a white wife, everyone is shocked. He also discloses that he has a daughter by that white wife.

      Uncle Hammer is the first to react. He shouts at Bud, but Mama intervenes and tries to understand the situation. He tells Mama that he wants to send his daughter, Suzella, to come and stay there with the family. He wants his daughter to understand the black community better. It
