Angie of Garfield Farm

By Ann Brack-Johnson

In September of 1847, Angie Garfield is growing up in the midst of guests and visitors at her father's busy tavern and inn, situated on the St. Charles Road into Chicago. Anticipating a Cotillion Dance to be held in the inn's second floor ballroom, Angie is focused on food, dancing and beautiful gowns. But when bounty hunters appear and a neighbor goes missing, Angie and her brothers realize that their friend Harry, a freed black man, may have been kidnapped. Mystery and intrigue ensue when the children and the community determine to find Harry. As Angie tries to help her family, troubles mount and there's no telling if she and her brothers will find their friend. Along the way, Angie becomes aware of how issues of the day such as anti-slavery and women's rights affect her personal life. As Angie struggles with these issues and her own responsibilities, she learns about what really matters.
