That same year, Cecelia, a young slave in Virginia, runs away for the first time. Soon infamous for her escape attempts, Cecelia drifts through the reality of slavery - until she encounters frontiersman Sam Fisk, who rescues her from a slave auction in New Orleans. In spite of her mistrust, Cecelia senses an opportunity for freedom, and travels with Sam to Texas, where he has a homestead. In this new territory, where the law is an instrument for the cruel and the wealthy, they begin an unlikely life together, unaware that their fates are intertwined with those of Sam's former army mates including Duncan Lammons, a friend - and others who harbor dangerous dreams of their own. 541 $d 20201110. 650 $a Fugitive slaves $v Fiction. 650 $a Frontier and pioneer life $v Fiction. 650 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 $a Liberty $v Fiction. 650 $a Slavery $v Fiction. 651 $a New Orleans (La) $v Fiction. 651 $a Texas $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 9 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021756.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023925.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100156.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210521010714.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210324010018.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210302015141.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210105034918.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20201208012312.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20201204011747.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6C5770BE35FE11EBA5F7CB3429ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
