Unbound (Burg)
Grace’s mamma makes her promise to “keep her eyes down and her mouth closed” when she leaves their slave cabin to work at the big house. Grace cannot remain silent as she witnesses the cruel treatment of slaves at the hands of a heartless missus and master. Her spoken thoughts trigger a series of events which force Grace to lead her family through the Great Dismal Swamp in search of freedom.
Unbound, is a great book on so many levels. For example slavery I know its not a good thing but it sure gives it some interesting turning points. Would you walk through a swamp filled with gators and other scary creatures? Well you will find some of that in this book.
