Olivia wants the 80 acres in far off Michigan that her father left to whichever of his offspring stakes a claim. As Olivia says, "I'm sprung off him just as much as Avis or Tobey."The problem: she's seventeen, female, and it's 1841.Her childhood friend Mourning Free knows how to work a farm and Olivia has complete trust in him.The problem: he's the orphaned son of runaway slaves and reluctant to travel and work with a white girl. He especially fears the slave catchers who patrol the free states, hunting fugitive slaves.Not without qualms, they set off together.
