Omschrijving
When she's asked to care for a young Black woman fleeing bondage, a white Ontarian must confront her privilege and the racism that pervades her community in this striking historical novel from the author of Angel of Mercy and Journey of Hope.
Rose Goodwin is proud of her charity work with the Simcoe County Vigilance Committee, where she's responsible for gathering provisions to help formerly enslaved Americans start new lives in Canada.
Her entire life turns upside-down with the arrival of Judith, a critically ill Black refugee who grew feverish after she lost contact with her children during their border crossing. Now practically immobile and still bearing the marks of brutality, Judith needs someone to nurse her back to health before she can settle in the local Black village.
The assignment falls to Rose, who quickly notices the cracks in her hometown's wholesome façade. Her husband offers little support. The town doctor refuses to treat Judith, and even Rose's own mother and sisters act as if the refugee herself were the problem.
This Good Samaritan may be completely out of her element, but her dedication to her patient increases to meet every ounce of resistance she encounters. And still the question remains: Will it be enough to save Judith?
