He is kind to the group and especially caring of Mariah. Mariah and her group are joined by a young man called Caleb. The group of slaves begin their difficult and dangerous march to freedom. She deeply cares for others and she has a dream for the future. She has witnessed the death of her parents and extreme cruelty to those around her.
Mariah has suffered so much at the hands of her white masters. I read Crossing Ebenezer Creek in one sitting - yes it is that good.Ĭrossing Ebenezer Creek is based on real events. I find I am fascinated by the years of slavery in American history. More recently I read Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Many years ago I read Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen. I am just putting that here as my first comment because this blog usually focuses on Picture books, Junior novels and Middle Grade fiction.
Crossing Ebenezer Creek is a Young Adult title.
