Opis

Samuel is a fourteen-year-old enslaved African American in Brooklyn in 1776 when the fighting between the British and the colonists reaches his doorstep. -Liberty ain't for Africans,- says fellow servants. -It got nothin' to do with us.- But his friend Sana says, -Nobody here's gonna be free unless they take the risk.- Soon the well-equipped Redcoats have trapped ragged American soldiers, who have no boats to escape, and a terrible storm blows up. Samuel, a strong boatman, must decide what he should do.
