Product Description
After the young Indian princess Sarah was captured by white men and forced into slavery, she lost all hope of a normal life. When she was put up for auction she was terrified. Might her new owner be even worse than Thomas, the man who had captured her? By luck, the man who purchased her was not as most men of his time, and he gave Sarah emancipation papers. After many happy years with her new father, Sarah gave birth to a young girl named Sallie, and Sarah felt her life was to finally be peaceful and happy once more. However, when Sallie Robinson and her mother were captured by the government and forced onto the Trail of Tears, Sallie was only nine years old. They marched long hours in all weather. As death, starvation, and exhaustion set in around them, Sallie began to fear for her own life and her mother’s.
