I sped right through this book. This is a story about a young slave girl sold to a family in New York with her sister during the American Revolutionary War. America is fighting for freedom yet she is still enslaved. The girls have lost their family, been taken to a new place, treated poorly, yet they must hold on to hope. This story speaks of the unjustices America has comitted to people of color. This story tells of the spirit of humans and the hope that we carry for a better life. This book is written as a historical novel. Many of the events in the story happened in our history. I enjoyed this book for the hard look at the injustices that have occurred in Americas history and for the hope that we can all make a difference.
