Let The Circle Be Broken #1

So far in the book, I've read about the Logan family. This is an African American family living in an small town, with many Caucasian families who don't exactly enjoy living with a different race than theirs. The Logan family isn't as fortunate as other families, so they have to work very hard all day. The Logan family is a very religious family and goes to church every Sunday. The main character is Cassie. Cassie is a young girl, who is sort of a tom boy because she grew up in a house with 3 boys. Cassie enjoys playing with her marbles but her father doesn't want her playing because she is gambling marbles while she is playing. Cassie has a friend named T.J., who was charged of robbing a store with his friend, but that's not all. After T.J. and his friend robbed the store, the owner of the store was murdered. Now T.J. is charged of murder and has to go to court in front of an all-white jury.
