Description

"'Slavery is a great evil and we must stand against it,' insisted Millie. 'But we've never seen ourselves. How are we supposed to know for sure if the awful stories we hear are true?' Effie asked. 'Millie will find out,' Celestia Ann said with certainty. 'I...will?' said Millie as she looked from one to the other. 'Of course you will,' Celestia Ann said. 'You can't spend four months on a cotton plantation without seeing for yourself!' 'What are you talking about?' Millie asked, gripping her Bible." When fifteen-year-old Millie Keith prepared a Bible study teaching on the evils of slavery, she didn't know that God was about to give her an opportunity to investigate the truth firsthand. To help cure her persistent cough, she leaves her family and frontier home in Indiana to visit a wealthy plantation in the South owned by her Uncle Horace Dinsmore. Will Millie have the courage to live out her faith amidst relatives she doesn't know?
