In 1857, America, the daughter of a slave owner, is an abolitionist and a student at Oberlin College, a school known for its radical ideas. When America goes home to Kentucky during school break to confront her father about freeing his slaves, America’s classmate, William, tags along to preach abolition to churches that condone slavery.

My Thoughts

I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Oberlin is a rich historic spot. I remember going to a presentation about the underground Railroad a few years back. My whole life I had lived 1 hour ish away from such knowledge. When I heard about this book, I had to read it. I have not read anything by the author prior to this. This book is one of the best books I have read. I love America and her determination. Growing up and coming from a slave holding family  presents challenges when she goes back to Kentucky to visit her family. William is likeable for the most part, but there were some times that I wanted to strangle him. Overall, they are a great team, fighting for freedom. I could not read fast enough. 

I received a copy of this book through the author. All thoughts are my own.
