(4) YA Great Episodes series. For two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Luli and her plantation-owning family hide the truth: that Sis Goose, born a slave, is now free. Rinaldi's well-researched portrait of post-Civil War Texas sometimes drags and the narrative jumps in time, but the complex relationship between Luli and her brother Gabe (who is also Sis's lover) stands out.
