BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Keeping her promise to reject slavery, Mayleda Callcott abandoned her family's South Carolina plantation. Now a widow and single mother in Philadelphia, she finds herself dependent on northern in-laws who support slavery for its economic benefits. Privately she tries to preserve her husband's legacy of aiding fugitive artisans.
Unknown to Mayleda, her father's favorite slave Joseph—set free at Master Callcott's deathbed—lives nearby. Trained by a Quaker doctor who saved his life, Joseph works as a medical practitioner amid public opposition.
Rumors soon arise about Joseph, implicating Mayleda as well. Pressed to choose between divine mandates and federal law, Mayleda and Joseph take risks that jeopardize their safety and those they love most. Together they face the stark reality of the staggering price of prejudice. Can they survive it?
