3.0

3.5. A fictional telling of little-known tragedy during the Civil War. Mariah and her brother become free and travel with Sherman's army. During her travels, Mariah meets a fellow freed man, Caleb, and while she is significantly scarred by the horrors of her enslavement, she begins to dream of what a truly free life can be for her and her brother, and even including Caleb. If you didn't know about what happened at Ebenezer Creek, just be prepared to have your heart removed from your body and crushed with sadness at the conclusion of this harrowing book.
