Rosebud's world seemed like an endless pile of pots and pans to wash, food to prepare, and bread to bake. Her father worked long days in the fields while her fifteen-year-old brother Isaac was the stable boy.But when a series of tragedies strikes, Rosebud is left alone and very afraid. Her only hope is that the words of her father will come true: Just listen for the whippoorwill.

Harriet Tubman, known as Moses, was also an escaped slave and became famous for leading bands of runaways on their dangerous passage to Canada.Will rosebud be able to keep up?
