How in the world would you feel if your father was dying & told you to let him die.
Would you try to save him? That what Frank did during the Civil War.
This story is about Frank, a slave. The family are slaves & help his mother and baby sister.
The funny part is first time he has a girlfriend! I love this book because you never see it in a book a boy becoming a man to help his dad. =)
