This is the story of a girl who was purchased as an indentured servant by an unscrupulous riverboat captain. She sang to the customers and then returned to her quarters under guard. When there is a fire on the boat, she manages to escape and meets up with a group of runaway slaves. They help each other and manage to get to freedom. This is an interesting story that highlights the underground railroad and the plight of all people who are not free. I love the combining of cultures and the historical accuracy. Once again, Kim Vogel Sawyer has written a wonderful story!
I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion
