At last, her forced march along the Trail of Tears brings a chance encounter that leads to her freedom.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
When I was young and still wore slavery's yoke, I aws saved by hollyhocks and a stranger's kindness.
Freedom filled my dreams, but I was born a slave's child.
"She'll fetch a pretty penny," Master said as he loaded Ma up in a wagon like a steer led to slaughter. Ma turned her anguished face to me, raised one hand in farewell.
I lacked strength to wave back, tho' I 'spect my eyes mirrored her sorrow.
I pined for Ma.
