The Land by Mildred Taylor
The first book in the Logan series, The Land chronicles the life of Paul Edward Logan. Paul Edward was born a slave toward the end of the Civil War. His mother was a black house slave, and his father was her white "master." As if being of mixed blood wasn't enough, Paul Edward looked more white than most. Having been raised equally alongside his white brothers, Paul Edward's adjustment to life off of his father's land was more difficult than that of his peers. However, with all that Paul Edward must overcome, he manages to achieve what he wants most.
