I really liked the idea of this. Girl (Lark) is a mistreated white girl - her father never even named her and she is abused by her father and brothers. One day a runaway slave girl shows up - Zenobia - and turns Lark's world upside down. Together they run away from Lark's family and from the slave catchers.
I liked the first half of the book - the dialect, the chase, the unlikely friendship between the two girls. But once they got to the Quaker house the book fell apart for me. There was a lot of confusion, whippings, violence and I just didn't really like how it played out.
Sorry...
