  • "Die junge Kitty sehnt sich nach Liebe und Anerkennung. Doch ihre Herrin lässt sie nie vergessen, dass sie nur eine Sklavin, ein Niemand ist. Dabei gibt sich Kitty seit ihrer Kindheit grosse Mühe, der herrschsüchtigen Südstaatlerin jeden Wunsch von den Lippen abzulesen. Als der Bürgerkrieg ausbricht und die Yankees immer näher rücken, steht Kitty vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung: Soll sie mit den anderen Sklaven davonlaufen oder in dem einzigen Zuhause bleiben, das sie jemals gekannt hat? Für Grady, ihre grosse Liebe, steht ausser Zweifel, dass die Flucht ihre grosse Chance ist. Und er würde notfalls auch ohne sie fliehen. Seit Grady seiner Mutter als Kind entrissen und an einen grausamen Skla-venhändler verkauft worden ist, träumt er davon, frei zu sein. Doch kann die Flucht Kitty und Grady wirklich frei machen? Wer-den Kittys Hoffnungen und Träume sich jemals erfüllen? Lynn Austin ist verheiratet, hat drei Kinder und lebt in Illinois. Ihre grosse Familie, die vier Generationen umfasst, ist ebenso Aufgabe wie Inspiration für sie. Wenn ihr nach dem Tagesgeschäft noch Zeit bleibt, ist sie als Vortragsreisende unterwegs und widmet sich der Schriftstellerei."
  • "This is a most compelling story of slavery in South Carolina from 1849 through the Civil War. There are two main characters, Grady and Anne, born into slavery on two different plantations and how their lives cross and then interwine. It is a vivid depictions of the treatment and attitudes of the plantation owners toward their "property" and the resulting behavior and attitudes of the slaves to their owners. By following the lives of these two children through to their adulthood, the utter fear, the disgust and the extreme choices, are made very real. The one consoling factor for the slaves is their faith in God. Grady is willing to take chances to gain his freedom but Anne, "Kitty" will grovel before her mistress to retain her position as a house slave. Though Grady marries Anne in the traditional manner for slaves, he refuses to allow Anne to cower before the threats of their mistress or to be treated in a demeaning manner. When Grady has the chance to run away to join the Union Army and gain his freedom, Anne is given a choice. Paralyzed by her fear of the unknown, Anne remains at the plantation believing she will not face hardships or whippings. When threats of her baby being rip way from her, Anne stands up to her mistress and faces the horror of the penalty of her insubordination. The Union Army Troop to which Grady belongs is making a sweep of all plantations to release all the slaves. Grady finds Anne, rescues her and their son, William. Anne understands what Grady had felt all long about the inhumane treatment slaves had to endure and gladly joins her husband on the path to freedom and a path of faith."
