This Opening Sky

The Civil War is over. Aurelia, the daughter of a destitute plantation owner, reels from the aftermath of a war that has torn her life apart. Halle, a newly freed slave, looks for a family she fears she lost forever. When fate brings the two girls together, they head north in a joint quest for freedom: one from human shackles, the other from pride. Differences and judgement soon give way to an unexpected friendship between the two girls who have more in common than meets the eye, as do we all.
