The Price of a Child Tapa blanda - 1996
de Lorene Cary
From the writer of the acclaimed memoir Black Ice comes a gripping story of the Underground Railroad and one courageous woman who rode it to freedom. In 1855 Ginnie Pryor escapes slavery on a plantation. But Ginnie's baby remains hostage in Virginia. The result is a suspenseful yet intimate epic pulsing with the life of a vanished black America. "Powerful".--The New York Times Book Review.

Descripción de contraportada
With her first book, the extraordinary Black Ice, Lorene Cary won comparisons with Maya Angelou and Richard Wright. Now she gives us a historical novel that belongs alongside the true slave narratives that are its inspiration - a gripping and minutely realized story of the antebellum Underground Railroad and of one courageous woman who rode it to freedom. In 1855 Ginnie Pryor, once cook, mistress, and slave to a Virginia planter, walks away from her furious master and into the embrace of a delegation of Philadelphia's Vigilance Committee. With freedom comes a new name (Mercer Gray), new pleasures (membership in a boisterous family of free-born blacks), and new responsibilities as Mercer becomes a speaker on the abolition circuit. But United States law still considers her a white man's property. And her baby Bennie remains a hostage in Virginia, subject to all the cruelties that Mercer has escaped. Suspenseful, raucously funny, and pulsing with the life of a vanished black America, The Price of a Child is an intimate epic of bondage and liberty by a writer with a true voice and heroic powers of imaginative reconstruction.
