A man who passed up the opportunity to escape his bondage and instead tended to the sick and buried the dead. A man who, twelve years later, is being sold by his owners despite his heroic actions. Now nineteen, Adria has never forgotten what Louis did for her. She's determined to find a way to buy Louis's freedom. But in 1840s Kentucky, she'll face an uphill battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased partly on a true story, Ann H. Gabhart's latest historical novel is a tour de force.
