Stella by Starlight [SCM]
by Sharon M. Draper Author
Stella and her loving family live in North Carolina in the early 1930s and, together with their supportive community, face chores, the Ku Klux Klan, illness, and writing assignments. A well-written narrative to introduce the racial injustices of that era in a less intense way than "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." Contains references to "Lord" and "Lordy" used in a culturally Southern way but also sincere faith and prayers.
