An intimate, gripping novel of the antebellum Underground Railroad, based on the true story of a valiant Philadelphia freedwoman--a debut novel from the author of the stunning memoir Black Ice (New York Times). A stunning achievement ... a deeply engrossing story. --The Philadelphia Inquirer
With Price of a Child--the story of Ginnie Pryor (cook, mistress and servant to a Virginia planter) and her struggle with slavery in 1855--Lorene Cary continues has created a work that elevates the reputation she created with Black Ice, her memoir which won her comparisons to Maya Angelou and Richard Wright. In a novel that examines the price of freedom and the value of a child's life, Cary has created an authentic American heroine--a woman who finds voice for the appalling loss and bitterness of her past, and who creates within herself a new humanity.
