Great book!

This book is about a girl named Monday. She thinks her mother is a free midwife. But when she and her mother go to America from Madagascar to prove Monday's uncle isn't a slave, Monday learns she is really Easter, the daughter of a slave woman, and that she was given to her "mother" so she would grow up free. This is a great book!
