Description:
Bright Cameron has always been taught that freedom is a person's most precious possession. Her father came to America as a poor indentured servant from Scotland, and toiled for years to earn his independence. But Bright learns the true meaning of liberty when she discovers her parents' involvement with a secret chain of safe houses that lead runaway slaves to freedom in the north.
Expand description
Watching her parents hide the tired, hungry, and scared in a secret compartment under Pa's wagon, Bright is faced with a moral dilemma unlike any she has ever known.
Gloria Houston's Appalachian roots enrich this novel with authenticity and a southern storyteller's voice, as young Bright puts her convictions to the test.
