Trouble Don't Last

BY SHELLEY PEARSALL

Brief Description:
11 year old Samuel was born as Master Hackler's slave, and working the Kentucky farm is the only life he's ever known. Then 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 Samuel's 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 past-and future. And old Harrison begins to see past a whole lifetime of hurt to the promise of a new life. Includes a historical note and map.
