An interesting look into the ends of the era of Slavery from the perspective of a young girl, searching for acceptance and truth, both from her southern family and her northern relatives. She finds herself hiding from a man who has sworn to kill her, and working hard for the first time in her life in a northern fabric mill owned by her great-grandfather.Action, family ties, truth and strength all figure in this book about putting together the pieces of a torn and raveling family quilt. Amanda receives a challenge from her grandmother "Can you keep silent for two weeks?" she is angry and defiant but rises to take the bait and thus begins her journey of self discovery.
