An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry - Mildred D. Taylor

So I have trouble reading books with injustice in them. There's just so much in the world that when it crops up in my fiction I have a tough time handling it (it's why I had to stop reading Front Desk by Kelly Yang, I just had this overwhelming feeling of dread that her family was going to be taken advantage of in some huge way that I could not handle).

 

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry deals with some very heavy issues, but the story is so compelling I couldn't stop reading even when that injustice was placed front and center.
