Unbound: A Novel in Verse by Ann E. Burg
3.0
Grace was 9 years old when she was called to work in the big house. Despite warnings of keeping her head down, mouth shut and thoughts to herself, one day Grace could no longer keep her mouth shut to the Mistress. The result was a threat to sell her mama and brothers on the auction block. Grace knew she and her family had no choice but to run.
This novel in verse tells of a little known alternate to the except north to freedom. It was to delve deep into the Great Dismal Swamp to seek safety and shelter. It is a harrowing reminder of the plight of the slaves and what freedom means when you don’t have it.
