Book - Child
"Snatched from the docks of New Orleans, thirteen-year-old Jessie is own aboard a slave ship where he must play his fife so that captured slaves will 'dance,' to keep their muscles strong and their bodies profitable for their owner's use. Jessie is sickened as he witnesses the horrible practices of the slave trade. But even those horrors can't compare to the one final event awaiting Jessie's witness. Can the cruelty to his fellow human beings be stopped? And will it be too late when it finally does stop?" From Product Description
