The Candle Star

By Michelle Isenhoff

Runaways hidden in the barn. Slave catchers lodged in the hotel. And Emily caught in the middle.

Emily Preston has defied her parents one too many times, and they expel her from their plantation home. Forced to travel to Detroit, she's sentenced to a year's labor in her Uncle Isaac's hotel.

In retaliation, Emily has vowed to become the most disagreeable houseguest ever, but she didn't figure in her uncle's iron will. And she has no idea what to do with Malachi Watson, the son of freed slaves who challenges every idea she's grown up believing.

When Emily stumbles across two runaways hidden in her uncle's barn, Malachi requests her help to sneak them across the river to Canada. Meanwhile, Mr. Burrows, the charming Southern slave catcher, lodges in the hotel.

Fans of Ann Rinaldi will appreciate The Candle Star's strong female protagonist, meticulous historical detail, and rich literary style.
