Description
This acclaimed novel is based on two actual incidents: the death sentence of a pregnant black woman in 1829 Kentucky for helping to lead an uprising of a group of slaves headed for market, and a white woman in 1830 North Carolina giving sanctuary to runaway slaves. The author puts their stories together, creating a compelling portrait of an unlikely bond between two strong women who defy racial barriers and discover greater strength together than alone.
