The friendship by mildred taylor audiobook free download

When several white passengers arrive at the last minute, the driver sends Josias and Stacey's grandmother off the bus. With the depression bearing down on her family, there isn't much that Cassie Logan can count on anymore. But there is one thing that hasn't changed - the whispering trees outside her window.

Cassie's trees, which have stood for centuries, are a great source of comfort to her. But they are also worth a lot of money. With Cassie's daddy gone to lay tracks for the railroad, it seems like no one can stop Mr.

Andersen from forcing Big Ma to sell their valuable trees. How can Cassie sit by and watch them disappear? 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.

The year is , the place is Mississippi, and any child knows that some things just aren't done. Can a shared past between the two men make a difference?

Reviewer: Ariana Barrett - favorite favorite favorite favorite - May 21, Subject: lol Honestly, I feel pretty neutral about this book. It's not something that I would seek out and read in my free time, but for an assignment in class, it's interesting. Better than Pride and Prejudice.

The comments about this being a racist book make me laugh. Thats done on purpose, people! It's pretty much a realistic fiction about an African American family after the Civil War, when slavery was abolished. During that time period, racism was really bad, and the author, who is a black woman by the way, wanted to convey just how bad it was. Reviewer: Cooper Whippo - favorite favorite favorite favorite - March 10, Subject: its a preetty good book its great the audio is clear but the book progress is never saved so its just keeps restarting when I'm off of it for a while but at the end it is very sad.

I like it because I hate how racist people are and I like how there where certain people that where like there not that bad.
