This is about slavery on the Canadian border with the US near Detroit. We follow an incident with a man searching for his escaped slaves. Sinda's story unfolds from there. I liked the the beginning of this novel. The way that the tale slowly unravels was well done. I will be honest though, I am not a big fan of books about this subject matter, so it was a tough read for me. As the story progresses, we venture into war-torn scenes, which is another thing I veer away from, so near the ending, my attention slipped away. I give this one a 3.8/5.
