Janie's Freedom: African Americans in the Aftermath of Civil War
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Time Period: 1867 Eleven-year-old Janie
finds herself in a quandary. The War Between the States is now
over, and Miss Laura, widowed mistress of Rubyhill Plantation, has
told Rubyhill's former slaves they're welcome to stay or free to
leave. But for Janie, where should she go? There are still dangers
in the South, and so many unknowns in the North-and moving may
eliminate any chance of ever finding her mother. Using actual
historical events to tell the poignant story of a newly-liberated
young slave girl, Janie's Freedom is an excellent read for eight-
to twelve-year-old girls, teaching American history and the
Christian faith at the same time.
