<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A</b><b> poignant and hopeful glimpse at the past for today</b>'<b>s curious readers." --Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor author</b> <p/><b>From the award-winning author of <i>Eliza</i></b><b><i>'</i></b><b><i>s Freedom Road</i> comes the powerful tale of a slave girl</b>'<b>s triumphant journey to freedom with her family during the Civil War.</b> <p/>Twelve-year-old Callie Wilcomb and her family are enslaved, and the Civil War gives them hope that freedom may be on the horizon. On May 23, 1861, the State of Virginia ratified their vote to secede from the Union. In Virginia, a window was opened where the laws of the land no longer applied. Because of the Contraband Law, enslaved people no longer had to be returned to their owners, granting them a measure of protection and safety. <p/>With the possibility of Callie and her family escaping their bonds forever, Callie is eager to learn and become educated and hopes to teach others one day. Through hardship and loss--with love and strong family ties--Callie proves that freedom is in her stars.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jerdine Nolen is the beloved author of many award-winning books, including <i>Big Jabe</i>; <i>Thunder Rose</i>, a Coretta Scott King Illlustrator Honor Book; and <i>Hewitt Anderson's Great Big Life</i>, a Bank Street Best Book of the Year, all illustrated by Kadir Nelson.
