About the Author:
Brenda Woods lives in Los Angeles, California.
From Booklist:
Gr. 4-7. From the age of four, Sally has worked as a slave in the cotton fields on a Georgia plantation. She is 11 in 1801 when her parents hear that she and her older brother are to be sold. The family runs away and finds shelter with the Seminole Indians in Florida. Mama dies on the journey. Along with their grief is the terrifying threat from the vicious slave hunters, but the runaways ultimately find kindness and community. True to the child's voice, the terse, first-person narrative, with a simple lyrical poem at the start of each chapter, brings close the backbreaking labor and cruelty of plantation life, then the flight to freedom, the sadness, and the hope. The action is fast, the journey fraught with danger; the details bring it home. Remembering her own childhood, Sally finds it difficult to believe that the Seminole children are free to play all day ("Ain't them little ones got no work to do?"). Some characters are idealized, but the searing historical fiction shows that there can be no sunny ending; while slavery exists in America, the family will never truly be free. Woods is the author of the Coretta Scott King Honor Book The Red Rose Box (2002). Hazel Rochman
