| Abstract | "The year is 1864, and there have been a lot of battles: many, too many, opportunities for [young Confederate soldier] Robin to exhibit that courage. In the meantime, back home, a smaller drama unfolds. Agate Freebody is a sensitive, intelligent slave girl savagely treated by a brute of a plantation owner. On the point of being sold, Agate gets a rare lucky break. Slave merchant Tucker Cobb ... leaves her untended ... Agate manages to make contact with a woman who happens to be passing by-and who happens to be Robin's mother. Aemelia buys her, takes her home, gives her harborage and, shortly thereafter, freedom. [But] Robin is captured and shipped to the infamous prison camp in Elmira, New York."--Barnes & Noble.com. |
