Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to
Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My
Cry.
**For David Logan, a time of distress means taking the higher road.
**
During a drought, the Logan family shares their well water with their
neighbors, black and white alike. But David's brother Hammer finds it
hard to share with Charlie Simms, who torments them because they are
black. Hammer's pride and Charlie's meanness are a dangerous
combination, and tensions between the boys build and build--until they
explode.
