“Ruth and me are free, Pastor. Miss Finch freed us in her
will. Momma, too, if had lived. It was done up legal, on paper with wax seals”
(p. 9). Isabel Gardener is a slave in the year 1777 with a promise of freedom,
but a corrupt system has her and her sister sold off to a high society family
in New York.
Curzon, another slave who dreams of freedom, which has led
him to ally himself with the Patriots, a radical group wanting to divide from
the British monarchy to be free. He talks Isabel into being a spy for them, as
her “owners” are British sympathizers who know of an impending British
invasion.
Isabel will not be a slave and finds her own way to fight
for her freedom and possibly even the freedom of a nation?
