Then Why Not Every Man?

by Kit Prate

FREEDOM NEVER COMES WITHOUT A PRICE. Nicknamed Runaway for his numerous escapes, a young slave dreams of freedom. Again and again he runs, only to be enslaved once more. Unable to stand more punishment, he commits the ultimate sin – he kills a white overseer. Now, it's run or hang. Amid death and sacrifice, Runaway heads North. He finds a station of the Underground Railroad which leads him to meet the Coopers, a special family, who take him in and give him his first true home. But danger follows and moving slaves to freedom becomes more difficult.

An Educational Enjoyable Eye-Opener of Our Past!
Prate does a masterful job of taking readers through the chaos of prejudice and misunderstanding experienced by slaves as their "official" freedom became a law. A blend of heart-tugging characters and evil greedy slave catchers keep the pages turning!
