Addy Walker is a hopeful 9-year-old girl growing up in slavery during the Civil War. When her father and brother are sold away from the plantation, Addy and her mother make the wrenching decision to escape to freedom on their own. But that means leaving Addy's baby sister behind - her cries could cost them their lives. Addy must dig deep to find the courage to face a powerful truth: freedom sometimes has great costs. After facing the terrifying road to freedom, Addy and Momma build a new life in Philadelphia, holding fast to the dream of having their whole family together again.
