Story of Rachel - a slave in Barbados during the time that slavery was abolished by England under the agreement they would work 6 more years as apprentices that could not leave the plantation.  Rachel decides to run and look for her children who were all sold off over the years.  The story covers Barbados, Demerara and Trindad as she searches.
