Freedom's price

"Eleven-year-old Eliza Scott isn't a slave, but she's not free, either. For one thing, her father, the famous Dred Scott, is suing his master for her family's freedom. But Eliza is also caught up in other overwhelming struggles-- a devastating cholera epidemic, the wrath of a rich and resourceful slave catcher, and the worst fire in St. Louis history. Will Eliza be willing and able to pay the price for freedom?"--OCLC.
