Description
Homer's desperate decision to flee Southerland Plantation under the cover of night sets him and his sister Ada on a perilous journey through the swamp. With their mother left behind, they must navigate treacherous terrain and evade capture by the overseer. Their search for safety leads them to a secret community called Freewater, where they find new friends and a sense of belonging.
But as Homer settles into his new life, he learns of a threat that could destroy Freewater and decides to take action to find his mother and help his home. This powerful tale of survival, adventure, friendship, and courage is loosely based on the history of maroon communities in the South.
