Description
Racial tension is at a boiling point in Shelbourne, Nova Scotia, as white delisted soldiers become desperate for work. In this third installment of Rachel's story, the unthinkable happens—on the pretense of checking their certificates of freedom, one such former soldier spirits Rachel and her mother away from their home and sells them back into servitude. Determined to reclaim her freedom and her home, Rachel plots her escape, with the help of a most unlikely ally.
