Summary
Samuel, an eleven-year-old Kentucky slave, and Harrison, the elderly slave who helped raise him, attempt to escape to Canada via the Underground Railroad.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Eleven-year-old Samuel was born as Master Hacklerâs slave, and working the Kentucky farm is the only life heâs ever knownâuntil one dark night in 1859, that is. With no warning, cranky old Harrison, a fellow slave, pulls Samuel from his bed and, together, they run.
The journey north seems much more frightening than Master Hackler ever was, and Samuelâs not sure what freedom means aside from running, hiding, and starving. But as they move from one refuge to the next on the Underground Railroad, Samuel uncovers the secret of his own pastâand future. And old Harrison begins to see
past a whole lifetime of hurt to the promise of a new lifeâand a poignant reunionâ
in Canada.
In a heartbreaking and hopeful first novel, Shelley Pearsall tells a suspenseful, emotionally charged story of freedom and family. Trouble Don't Last includes an historical note and map.
