Mockingbird Diary of St. Helena Island

By Deborah Serravalle

In the 1860s, slavery was a dividing force in America. When the American Civil War breaks out, the enslaved people are abandoned by the Sea Island plantation owners who run inland for cover. Northerners support the Freedmen of the Sea Islands through the Port Royal Project. Two women, Ellen Murray and Laura Towne, answer the call to help the people on St.Helena Island, South Carolina.
Mockingbird Diary of St. Helena Island is a fictionalized tale of Miss Ellen and Miss Laura's real-life contribution to the ideal of freedom for African Americans. Both heart-warming and eye-opening, the story is told through Henrietta's ability to touch her mother's journals and experience one of America's pivotal periods in history and the people who lived it.
