Product Description

From the author of Elizas Freedom Road and Calico Girl comes a historical middle grade adventure about an enslaved girl's journey on the Overland Trail to California during the Gold Rush, and how she took the chance to fight for freedom.

In Alexandria, Virginia, in the mid-19th century, a slave-owning family is facing financial trouble. The eldest son, Jason, thinks going to California to mine for gold might be the best way to protect his father's legacy. He'll need a cook, a laundress, and a hostler for the journey, and one of them is twelve-year-old Clementine, whose mother calls her Hope.

From Independence, Missouri—the Gateway to the West—she and the others join a wagon train on the Emigrant Overland Trail. But what Jason didn't consider is taking the three enslaved people west will give them an opportunity to free themselves—manifesting their destiny.
