He knows what slavery means.  Massa owns him.  Massa orders him what to do and when to do it.  A shy, frightened boy, Moses knows that he and his family are nothing more than property - the same as a mule or a wagon. After the unexpected death of his Papa, a shocking surprise changes Moses' life forever.  His fears turn into action as he leads Addie, his sister and their Mama on a dangerous journey to freedom.
