Susanna wants to join the circle of girls who meet every week at the parsonage. But these girls will soon set off a torrent of false accusations leading to the imprisonment and execution of innocent people.

Kidnapped from her home in Senegal and sold as a slave in 1761, a young girl is purchased by the wealthy Wheatley family in Boston. Phillis Wheatley-as she comes to be known-has an eager mind and it leads her on an unusual path for a slave-she becomes America's first published black poet. "Strong characterization and perceptive realism mark this thoughtful portrayal."-Booklist
