Oberlin, Ohio β 1844 Lawrence Stewart is a rare man. Raised with his grandmotherβs Miami Indian tribe, as a Negro he has consistently walked between two worlds most of his life. He devotes his time and study to becoming a lawyer, fully intending to obtain justice for the ousted Miami Indians. No Negro man has accomplished these things before, but he is not daunted. He studies for his exams as he rides circuit through the backwoods of Ohio, handing out justice to people who cannot easily reach a courthouse. His life is perfectly set until one June dayβ¦. Aurelia βRealieβ Baxter made her way from enslavement in Georgia to the free land Lake Huron in Ohio. Far from happy as a slave doing the bidding of a woman cooped up in a house all day, Realie is a bona fide tomboy with a special gift with horses. Now, she is so close to freedom in Canada, she can smell it, but her plans are interrupted when Lawrence shoots herβ¦by mistakeβ¦. Lawrence cannot study encumbered with the care of an enslaved woman, but heβs responsible for her injuryβ¦ Realie wants to get to Canada, but Lawrence wonβt let her get away in trying to help herβ¦ One chance meeting can change your life from what you thought you wantedβ¦.to what you really need.
