Story highlights difficulties and hardships of slaves in the South. When Kelsa hears that there are slaves who have been successful in running away from their cruel masters, she decides to flee. No one deserves to be a slave and she is dtermined to give her two sons a free life. With some help the family escapes but to reach their destinations they had to face many hurdles. Many times they come close to be re-captured, many times they had to do things they didn't want and many times they find respite in unlikeliest of ways.

It is a well written book with well developed characters. Story is very engaging and the ending was just epic. I think the author has done a good job here and I really liked this book.
