Description: Sam was born in slavery, Annabelle was born in wealth.
They live on the same plantation, but in very different worlds. Now the Civil War is upending life as they've known it: Each of their fathers is pulled into the conflict, and armies from North and South have their eyes on Twin Oaks. As Sam faces life-threatening danger, he makes courageous choices. Annabelle casts off the rules she grew up with and steps in to take charge. The characters are fictional, but the realities of war blaze to life in this story of heroism, adventure, and unexpected friendship. The real struggles of the War are shown, and some of its major figures, like Clara Barton and Abraham Lincoln, put in appearances. The book includes an afterword detailing the real people and historical events involved. (Previously released as Fight for Freedom.)
