"Brisk, clean, [and] unsentimental."

School Library Journal
"Avi manipulates the narrative with skill, sustaining suspense."

Will Robert and Elizabeth find in Easton the life they want so desperately? The year is 1768. In eight years, the American Revolution will begin. Two indentured servants, little more than children, escape first from their master and then from a search party determined to turn them over to the authorities. They hope to find work and freedom in the town of Easton. But when Elizabeth is badly wounded, Robert must do all he can to keep her alive. He's scared--and confused. He needs help from someone, an adult. But should he turn to the wild woman of the woods? Or can he trust Nathaniel Hill, the friendly man he meets in town?
