- Summary
- When a slave-owning family decides to go to California to mine for gold, twelve-year-old Clementine, whose mother calls her Hope, travels with them, which ultimately leads her on a journey to freedom.
- Mid-19th century. The slave-owning Barnett family in Alexandria, Virginia, is facing financial trouble. The eldest son, Jason, thinks going to California to mine for gold might be the best way to protect his father's legacy. He will need a cook, a laundress, and a hostler for the journey, and one of them is twelve-year-old Clementine, whose mother calls her Hope. From Independence, Missouri, Hope and the others join a wagon train on the Emigrant Overland Trail. But what Jason didn not consider is taking the three enslaved people west will give them an opportunity to free themselves: manifesting their destiny. - adapted from jacket
