About this audiobook
Lorene Cary has been praised by the American Library Association for her honest style that brings African American history to life. Ginnie Pryor finally has the chance to escape slavery-but to do so, she must leave her youngest child behind. With her new found freedom come responsibilities and a new identity as abolitionist Mercer Gray. But she cannot forget her abandoned baby boy.
