(3) YA Willow's owner seems benevolent, and she knows other plantations are worse. But with the influence of free black man Cato, Willow's view of the world and her own future shifts. Hegamin depicts the spectrum of experiences suffered by the enslaved and their many survival strategies in this thoughtful novel about a fifteen-year-old African American young woman coming to terms with slavery and patriarchy in 1848.
