Based on a true story, The Promise follows Mary, the 9 year old
daughter of a slave family in Louisiana in the 1850s. Because Mary
and her father can read and write, Mary's family is promised
freedom if they travel with their master on the treacherous Oregon
Trail. When they reach Oregon, the master frees the parents but
keeps Mary and her brother as slaves. Mary's parents take the
master to court to sue for custody of their children, and with
Mary's brave testimony, they set in motion a law which helps
determine if Oregon will come into the Union as a free state or a
slave state. The Promise is a historical chapter book for children
ages 7-9.
