Coming of Age in Mississippi: The Classic Autobiography of Growing Up Poor and Black in the Rural South by Anne Moody

5.0

One can hardly blame her for her pessimism at the end of it all--suffering in respect to her family, the white and black community, and government, with almost no hope in sight. She loses her religion, her faith in God, as well. It is this tension that one can hardly hold against the great sufferer. No one should abandon God. But if anyone would have any warrant to abandon God, if He would forgive anyone of anything, He would forgive Anne Moody amidst her woes.
