Harbishaw: The Decaturs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781387116584)

Living off the land in an untamed wilderness isn't easy, and it's no different for the settlers of Harbishaw. A former lead-mining encampment, the fledgling township has managed to endure despite the odds. But the Decaturs have found the price of survival more costly than most. An African-American family of runaway slaves, their craving for liberty is as dire as the need for food and water. But freedom is like honey-though uncommonly sweet, it can be savored only while it lasts. In Harbishaw, the Decaturs have found a place where they can live a modest, but peaceable life. Yet happiness is fleeting and disaster often occurs without warning. Narrated by middle-sibling Joshua Decatur, Harbishaw is a gripping tale of hardship, betrayal, and perseverance.
