Description
In 1848, a remarkable true story inspired this historical adventure. Rosa, a slave with fair skin, disguises herself as a young southern gentleman to escape her life of slavery. With the help of her husband Benjamin, she flees the South, using their lack of literacy to explain away their past encounters and holding on to hope over a thousand miles to freedom. This gripping tale is based on the incredible story of Ellen Craft, who also escaped slavery through a daring disguise. It's a testament to the power of courage and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity. Suitable for readers aged 13+, this book offers a compelling account of one woman's fight for freedom and identity.
