In this well-written sequel to Freedom's Wings, Corey and his family have escaped slavery and settled in Amherstburg, Canada. In simple but moving prose, nine-year-old Corey records his experiences as he helps build the family's new cabin, attends school for the first time, and dreams that Mingo, his young friend from Kentucky, will join him in the north. An afterword places events in historical context.
