What Members Thought
Touching story, could relate to Janie And her struggles throughout her life.
From page 160 -- The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time. They sat in company with the others in other shanties, their eyes straining against crude walls and their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His. They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.

Excellent book. Considering introducing it to my English class.
The writing is brilliant, but the dialect is a little tough to read.
