Description
It’s 1780, and war has come to Camden, South Carolina. Caroline’s father is in prison; her brother is off fighting for the Loyalists; and she, her mother, and her sister are confined to one room as a British colonel occupies their spacious plantation house. But when Caroline learns that her brother is injured, not even a British colonel can stop her from rushing to his aid. She does agree to take her “secret” grandmother-a slave on her own plantation-with her, and together they face trigger-happy soldiers and desperate rebels on a trip that turns Caroline’s already tumultuous world upside down.
