Meer over het boek

Set during the American Civil War, the narrative follows a farm boy and his enslaved friend whose lives diverge dramatically after a violent incident. Told from alternating perspectives, the story explores themes of hope, friendship, and resilience as each character embarks on their own harrowing journey—one into the chaos of war and the other into the depths of slavery. Annette Oppenlander's tale highlights the enduring strength of the human spirit and the quest for home amidst turmoil.
