It was one of the best books I have read.

Corey is a slave in the south during the civil war until she is freed. Corey goes up north to find freedom in Philedelphia, since she has no where else to go because she can't find her family. Corey then meets Penn Wilson, and is foced to choose between him and Ned (he was a slave on the plantation with her. Then he joined the Union army.) who wants her to go out west with him.

Great book!

Corey is a slave girl in the Civil War South. One day she makes a daring run for freedom. She reaches the North, and helps other freed slaves while searching for her mother. But Corey is in love with two men. One was a slave on the plantation she grew up on. Another is an African-American who was born free. Who will Corey choose?
