The Land
Overview & Summary
Set a generation before the other Logan family novels, this prequel follows Paul-Edward Logan, the mixed-race son of a white plantation owner and a formerly enslaved woman, as he fights against the era's rigid racial hierarchies to achieve his deepest ambition: owning land of his own. Mildred D. Taylor's Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel explains the origins of the land so fiercely protected throughout the rest of her Logan family saga.
