(4) 4-6 In 1858, twelve-year-old Girl, white, lower-class, and abused, flees her Virginia home and travels toward Quaker Waterford with runaway slaves. As she befriends the slaves, first-person narrator Girl (renamed Lark) astutely differentiates between her own subjugation and that of black slaves. Unfortunately, several characters' near-miraculous recoveries from escape-related injuries undermine an otherwise head-on look at multiple forms of enslavement. Websites. Bib., glos.
