Eleven-year-old Elijah is the first child born into freedom
in Buxton, Canada, a settlement of runaway slaves just over
the border from Detroit. He’s best known in his hometown as
the boy who made a memorable impression on Frederick
Douglass. But things change when a former slave steals money
from Elijah’s friend, who has been saving to buy his family
out of captivity in the South. Elijah embarks on a dangerous
journey to America in pursuit of the thief, and he discovers
firsthand the unimaginable horrors of the life his parents
fled—a life from which he’ll always be free, if he can find
the courage to get back home.
