Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom.<br><br>From acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson comes this compelling, impeccably researched novel that shows the lengths we can go to cast off our chains, both physical and spiritual. 3032794 book 21 10 2008 Chains total:1254|5:493|4:532|3:191|2:35|1:3| 1254 5239 2478 504 5 9 false false Sat Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 20:25:35 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 02 11:29:33 -0700 2008 Chains came at the best possible time.
