Free Boy: A True Story of Slave and Master (V Ethel Willis White Books)
"...an exhaustively researched account....  The recounting of his escape aboard a steamer, capture, and eventual freedom in Canada are captivating.... The authors' admirable primary-source detective work results in a context-rich story that shines a light on racial attitudes and Civil War politics in pre-statehood Washington."  Publishers Weekly"Written with deft, lucid prose, this book is a reminder of why lightly fictionalized biography is a marvelous genre. . . .Free Boyprovides richly detailed settings and imagined conversations (based on documented events) that bring the story to life." -Stephanie Guerra,Readergirlz, May 2013
