Words By Heart is a story about the town's only black family, recently arriving from the south. The Family is treated with barely concealed contempt by the white farmers, and when the family's daughter wins a scripture contest, although winning is not what she expects. Instead of honor, violence and passing of a love one comes upon Lena and her family. When Lena struggles with her father's refusal to seek vengeance she gains the inner strength that comes from a forgiving nature.

I do and don’t recommend this book. I recommend this book because It is a very excellent  book of Lena who was a young sheltered  child that learned a terrible reality about prejudice and racism. In the end, this child showed courage and loyalty far beyond her age. Surly after that her head held high, she did not deviate from her responsibility. It also teaches a lecture to not prejudice.

I don’t advocate this book this book because people still treated African Americans poorly even after slavery was abolished. It was also sad when Lena had won a contest and nobody had admired her. After that she had gone home to find something disturbing in her household. This was very sad. This story showed about a young intelligent girl who learned a harsh lesson, while it showed her what life was about.
