Description
Three women embark on a perilous wagon journey westward in this verse novel that explores the history of the Black homesteader movement. In 1879, Mississippi, Lettie and her family set out for Nebraska, seeking independence and a chance to claim their own land. But with limited supplies and resources, danger lurks around every corner. As they face the hardships of their journey, these women must also contend with poverty, patriarchal social structures, and the legacy of slavery. Will they survive and find freedom in their new home? Lesa Cline-Ransome's striking verse masterfully portrays an underrepresented historical era, tackling powerful themes of autonomy and Black self-emancipation. This intimate look at three women's lives offers a nuanced portrait of generations striving for promised freedom.
