The protagonist of The Adventures of Midnight Sun, a runaway slave turned cowboy, plans to reunite with his family now that the Civil War is over. He is joined on his journey home by a fellow cowboy and two orphaned young people of mixed Arapaho Indian-African American heritage. Midnight Sun is a strong character in a well-paced novel that leaves room for yet another sequel.
