Aggy of Zion

Princess #2

by Barbara Frank

A young slave girl is sold away from her home in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia during the era of the Second Great Awakening. In her new surroundings, local memory of a gruesome murder remains strong. Slaves bludgeoned their master to death and burned his body to ash in a cabin fireplace. Blood ties to the past dictate life-forming decisions, including Aggy's own.
