Let the Circle be Unbroken by Mildred Taylor
This, the seventh book in the Logan series, picks up where Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry leaves off. Stacey's friend, TJ, is awaiting trial for murdering a white man. Typical of the time, TJ was tried by an all white jury, which means the worst possible outcome for the misguided young man. Stacey himself, meanwhile, leaves home for the cane fields of Louisiana in hopes to earn some more money for the family so that they won't lose their land. Unfortunately, while there, Stacey is accused of theft, and winds up in jail. Hardships abound for the Logans, but, as always, they rise above.
