"Anderson's novel is remarkable for its strong sense of time and place and for its nuanced portrait of slavery and of New York City during the Revolutionary War." Publisher's noteWhen her former owner breaks his promise to set her free and ends up sending her to live with a cruel loyalist family at the start of the Revolutionary War, Isabel is heartbroken and so becomes determined to do whatever is necessary to win her freedom, including spying on her family to help the rebels win the war. 50,000 first printing. AnnotationIsabel and her five-year-old sister Ruth are slaves owned by a Loyalist couple living in New York City in this novel set during the Revolutionary War. Dismayed by the conditions of her life, Isabel decides to seek freedom for herself and Ruth by becoming a spy for the rebel armies. However, she soon learns that even those fighting for independence for themselves are not to be trusted when it comes to ensuring the freedom of slaves.
