It's impossible to describe to anyone who's never been a slave what it's like to suddenly realize you're free. I would never forget what I felt like that day as long as I lived. Two very different girls, one the daughter of a slave, the other the daughter of a plantation owner, must fight to stay alive -- and together -- after being orphaned by the Civil War. Katie and Mayme are forced to grow up quickly as Rosewood becomes a sanctuary to others. As their numbers increase, so does the risk of their secret getting out. Evil men are searching for Emma's baby, and a young newcomer brings her own secrets -- and dangers -- to Katie's door. Will Mayme risk her freedom -- and her life -- to protect them all? A day to measure your worth, a day to take a stand, a day to pick your own cotton. - Back cover.
