The friendship and other stories

Two powerful stories in one volume. The friendship: Cassie Logan tells the haunting story of a neighbor in Mississippi, Mr. Tom Bee, who dares to call a white storekeeper by his first name.

The gold Cadillac: 'Lois and her sister Wilma are proud that the family will be driving in it all the way from Ohio to Mississippi. But as they travel deeper into the rural South, there are no admiring glances for the wonderful car, only suspicion and anger for the black man behind the wheel. For the first time in their lives, 'Lois and her sister find out what it's like to be scared because of the color of their skin.

  • "From Publishers Weekly: The Friendship, set in Mississippi in 1933, relates the unexpected consequences when Cassie Logan, the heroine of Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, sees a black customer call a white storekeeper by his first name. In The Gold Cadillac, a black family encounters ignorance and prejudice during a drive from their Toledo home to Mississippi in their brand-new 1950 Cadillac. Both stories depict Taylor's customary sensitivity to racial issues."@en
