This book destroyed my little twelve-year-old heart when I first read it. Parents, if your child is a sensitive reader, do beware that there is a fire, a subsequent death, and that the KKK is discussed. (But it's a great book...it just obliterated me at the time.)

Nice book for middle school aged girls.

I love how strong Kathleen is when all around her she is under testing.
Her family farm is experiencing a bad drout and at the same time a neighbor is attacked by the ku klux klan who light fire to there fields. Her cousin is killed while trying to save someone but everyone else is fine. It is sort of sad but mostly I loved it and have read it more that 3 times already.
I strongly recommend reading this!
