MoreLong description:
This historical and inspiring coming-of-age novel for young readers explores topics of both historical and contemporary relevance as it follows a harrowing year in the life of its intrepid teenaged narrator.
Lexington, Kentucky, 1833: Calendula ?Cal? Farmer, a thirteen-year-old white girl, has been raised by her abolitionist, freethinking mother to reason for herself, consult her inner wisdom, and come to her own conclusions. But when a flash flood devastates her family?s home, Cal is unexpectedly thrust into domestic service in a wealthy family?s mansion. There, she encounters firsthand the physical, intellectual, and emotional brutalities of slavery. Later, a cholera outbreak kills a quarter of the population, including Cal?s mother, and Cal enters an orphanage, where she bravely begins another chapter in her young life.
Cal?s story is sure to captivate readers as she confronts the injustices and uncertainties of racism, class consciousness, epidemic disease, and personal loss with independent thinking, perseverance, and love.
“Jenny O'Neill understands the best historical fiction not only illuminates the past, but also reckons with it…. [H]ere is a young woman coming into a complicated understanding of her own conscience. This is a thoughtful, thought-provoking work.” More
