Description
Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee is a powerful and moving novel about love, friendship, and sacrifice. In 1849, Samantha's life takes a devastating turn after a tragic accident leaves her with nothing, forcing her to break the law in self-defense. With the help of Annamae, a runaway slave she meets at the scene of her crime, they flee town for the unknown frontier. Disguised as two boys heading for the California gold rush, Samantha and Annamae must navigate life on the Oregon Trail, searching for a link to their past and avoiding unwanted attention. Along the way, they meet a band of cowboys who become their unlikely allies, but the law is closing in on them, and new setbacks come each day. As they journey through the open trail, Samantha finds herself falling for one of her companions, but she must confront the challenges that lie ahead and the secrets that threaten to tear them apart.
