A new life for Toby
by Nancy Fowler Rivers
Category: African Americans

When white folks are telling Tobias Cleveland that he needs to learn his place, Toby is just trying to figure out where he belongs. When eleven-year-old Toby must move to work on the Elliston farm and live in his uncle's home in Georgia, he finds himself faced with many new challenges. His biggest is feeling at home with his cousin's hard stares. After a dangerous run-in with a couple of scoundrels, Toby discovers one thing more satisfying than how to ride a horse or how to read -- he learns what it feels like to have a family.
