Description
by Ken Robb (Author)
A young slave named Carter Perkins finally gains his freedom when California becomes a free state, and his half-brother and master, Charles Perkins, returns to Mississippi when their father dies. They have worked together to find gold, but only Charles has reaped the rewards. Carter finds gold himself and starts a successful hauling business to support the influx of gold seekers.
He falls in love with Hannah, a woman who was once enslaved, and they plan their future together. For the first time, they feel free. But Southern politicians force California to pass a strict Fugitive Slave Law. Carter and Hannah's friends are quickly chained and thrown in jail. They are helpless to plead their case since people of color cannot speak in court. Carter and Hannah find themselves fighting for their freedom in a web of lies and racism aimed at forcing them back into slavery.
