The Well: David's Story

Description

In rural Mississippi at the turn of the twentieth century, ten-year-old David Logan witnesses how his family’s well becomes a vital source of water—and a test of their convictions. When the Logans share what they have with neighbors of every race, their simple act of generosity challenges the rigid prejudices and simmering tensions of the community. Through David’s eyes, the story explores courage, compassion, family values, and the dangers of standing up for what is right. Richly grounded in history and told with vivid emotional insight, it offers a powerful portrait of childhood and racial injustice.
