Description
"Someday, when my papa comes back for me, Matty kept telling herself, ""I'm gonna have lots of money and pretty clothes and I'm gonna live just as good as those white folks do."" But bitter reality is about to catch up with this servant child and former slave in the winter of 1806 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Utilizing a real 18th century mansion and crafted in rich historical detail, this thoughtful story and its cast of endearing characters introduces middle school readers to a little known chapter in the history of slavery in America."
