Copper Sun
This novel presents the story of Amari, a 15-year-old African village girl who is captured by slave traders and "beaten, branded, and dragged" onto a slave ship headed to South Carolina. It is also the story of Polly, a Caucasian indentured servant who pays the debts of her parents, dead from smallpox. Together they overcome obstacles, albeit in a predictable way.
