Description: When the Civil War begins, the slave cabins at River Bend Plantation are abuzz with talk of only one thing - freedom! To eleven-year-old Maddie, a house slave, the forbidden talk excites her - and makes her uneasy. But when Mistress takes Maddie's family to her summer home in Nags Head, away from the fighting, Maddie thinks they've missed their chance to be freed by the bluecoats. Little does she imagine that the Yankees will turn nearby Roanoke Island into a haven for runaway slaves - and Maddie and her family will finally have their chance to start a new life. Describing both the joy of freedom and the harsh existence of the large colony of self-freed slaves o Roanoke Island, Sandra Forrester skillfully blends truth and fiction, drawing on a little-known episode in U.S. history. This powerful novel brings to life the story of a spirited girl who finds her own road amid conflict and change.
