In 1857, slavery is still common and accepted practice in the South.
However, William and America are abolitionists and want to confront and
end the evil practice. America is the daughter of a prominent
slave owner. She believes owning slaves is immoral and want to become a
missionary to spread her faith in China. William travels around the
country preaching the evils of slavery. Together William and America
find themselves struggling to spread the abolitionist idea. Will she be
able to help slaves escape if it means going against her father? Will
William and America be able to put their differences aside and work
together to spread the message?
The novel portrayed
a vivid experience of two different people with the same ideals.
America's family has owned slaves her entire life. She is torn between
the life she knew from birth and the ideals she wants. William's family
has always followed the path of abolition. It was interesting to see two
people who like each other try to accept each other different point of views
while trying to compromise their own beliefs. While the book was an
enjoyable read, I found it to be a bit of a slower cozy read than I
normally read.
