One of only three girls in a host of boy cousins and two brothers, I learned to find my own way somewhere between Southern belle and tomboy. I was that kid at the top of the summer reading list challenge, tucked away in a secret fort, or obscure beach cottage loft on a rainy day, devouring a smorgasbord of goodies from biographies and Nancy Drew mysteries to C.S. Lewis and The Scarlet Letter. Books were – and still are – both the escape and the connection.

Set against the backdrop of the Revolutionary War era in South Carolina, this is a compelling tale of three young women from distinct backgrounds: an indentured servant from London, a chattel slave, and a Catawba Indian captured by the Cherokee and traded into slavery.
Forced to navigate complex relationships with each other and with the master and his family, they must choose between remaining in their known circumstances or risking a daring escape that could change the course of the war – and their lives.
