Summary
After serving Martha Washington loyally for twenty years, Oney Judge realizes that she is just a slave and must decide if she will run away to find true freedom.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: An ALA Award-winning Author

As part of the staff of George and Martha Washington, Oney is referred to as a servant, not a slave, and when she becomes Martha's personal servant her status in the household is second to none. But, slowly, Oney realizes that -- regardless of what they call it -- it's still slavery, and she must make a choice. Told with immense power and compassion, this is the extraordinary true story of one young woman's struggle to take what is rightfully hers.
