Joseph's Choice-1861
|
| | | From the Publisher
At the beginning of the Civil War, Kentucky hasn't sided with the North or the South, but it seems that in Branson Mills, everyone has taken sides...except for Joseph Byers. He knows that slavery is wrong -- yet at the same time he recognizes how much trouble speaking out against slavery can cause. His stepfather's abolitionist actions have put the whole family in danger of the vigilante violence that is sweeping the town. In this gripping adventure, Joseph reaches for his own courage to save the lives of the people he loves most.
Annotation:
In this story set just as the Civil War is beginning, a young boy named Joseph Bryers must deal with the consequences of his abolitionist stepfather's actions. Joseph knows that slavery is wrong, but he fears that if he, like his stepfather, speaks up against it, his family will be put in even greater jeopardy.
