It is late August, 1815. Eleven-year-old Jenny Moses and her
mother, Annie, work as field slaves on a southern Alabama
plantation. When they learn of their master's plans to sell Jenny
and separate mother and daughter, they choose to run. During a
perilous week-long journey, they are helped by Cato, another young
runaway, and together they travel to the banks of Florida's
Apalachicola River. There they find friendly settlements of escaped
slaves, free blacks and Native Americans. With the aid of an
abandoned but fully-fortified British fort, Jenny, Annie, Cato and
a new friend-Crazy Bear-are swept up in the hope that a new country
of blacks and Indians, one in which everyone is free, can be carved
out of this strange new land. In the meantime, there are slave
hunters to contend with, such as the evil Rube, and armies bent on
destroying their dreams.
