Illustrated by
Keith D. Shepherd.
"War's over. Government say we free." A young boy, Gabe, searches for his mother, who was "sold...away from me." Along the way he's aided by other free black people. Just as he's about to give up, his story, lyrically told, takes a joyous turn. Emotion-filled illustrations capture the intense focus of young Gabe. An author's note is appended.
