Rather than focusing on one area of writing, such as fluency, language use, academic writing, or social writing, the series includes all of them to give students practical skills for writing in many different situations.

The structure is flexible, allowing the teacher to assign work from different sections of the book concurrently to target the students' greatest needs. To support and supplement in-class practice, there is the Writing Power blog. Teachers can log on to set up a private class blog, where students can post writing assignments and communicate wiht classmates in a fun online environment.

Twelve-year-old Frankie Walker's whole world is baseball, Daddy, and foxhunting. Daddy's stroke forces Frankie to learn to survive on his own--or become a permanent resident of the Missouri Orphan's School and Residence. With the help of a fellow orphan, Frankie bolts the orphanage and hooks up with a Black barnstorming baseball team and their young, female pitcher, Linda. But nothing good can last. When Linda drops him at the bus station so he can join Daddy in Kansas, he's mistaken as Linda's child and abducted by the Ku Klux Klan. Facing death by torture, Frankie is saved by Paul. When Frankie and Daddy finally reunite, Daddy's stroke has left him stiff and silent as a tombstone. There'll be no more nights chasing their foxhounds, but Frankie has learned on his long and harrowing journey that he's a survivor. Set in America's Midwest of the 1950s, where racial injustice still has a tight grip, Leave the Night to God proves that kindness may be found in unexpected places, that "family" is not about the color of one's skin, and to remain true to one's values is what it means to be a man.
