Enslaved to a businessman in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the pair spend their days dreaming of a loving future and reminiscing about their family's rebellious and storied history. When mother and daughter are separated, Ady is left hopeless and directionless until she stumbles into the Mockingbird Inn and meets Lenore, a free Black woman with whom she becomes fast friends. Lenore invites Ady to join a clandestine society of spies called the Daughters. With the courage instilled in her by Sanite -- and with help from these strong women -- Ady learns how to put herself first. So begins her journey toward liberation and imagining a new future. The American Daughters is a novel of hope and triumph that reminds us what is possible when a community bands together to fight for their freedom."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Enslaved women $z Louisiana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Freed persons $z Louisiana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secret societies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1815-1861 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20240803093436.0 952 $l ZOPC437 $d 20240730153357.0 952 $l RQPC397 $d 20240730010101.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240727010051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=84DD80444BDD11EFBEB00D5B5DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
