About this listen

Time Period: 1867

Eleven-year-old Janie finds herself in a quandary. The War Between the States is now over, and Miss Laura, widowed mistress of Rubyhill Plantation, has told Rubyhill's former slaves they're welcome to stay or free to leave. But for Janie, where should she go? There are still dangers in the South, and so many unknowns in the North—and moving may eliminate any chance of ever finding her mother.

Using actual historical events to tell the poignant story of a newly-liberated young slave girl, Janie's Freedom is an excellent story for eight to 12-year-old girls, teaching American history and the Christian faith at the same time.
