Crossing Ebenezer Creek by Tonya Bolden

5.0

Short, fast, unforgettable. Mariah barely has time to dream of freedom before her dreams are cruelly cut short at Ebenezer Creek.

An honest, hard look at how newly freed African Americans were treated by the Yankees during Sherman's March to the Sea. Yet for all its bleakness, this story also portrays the pride and power of Black folk.
