Like other ex-slaves, Pascal and his brother, Gideon, have been promised forty acres and maybe a mule. With the family of friends they have built along the way, they claim a place of their own. Green Gloryland is the most wonderful place on earth; their own family farm with a healthy cotton crop and plenty to eat. But the notorious night riders have plans to take it away, threatening to tear the beautiful freedom that the two boys are enjoying for the first time in their young lives.Coming alive in plain, vibrant language, this story of the Reconstruction following the Civil War is one you will never forget.
