In Meet Addy, “Addy Walker’s family is planning a dangerous escape from slavery during the summer of 1864. But before they can make the escape, the worst happens to them. The family is separated when Master Stevens decides to sell some of his slaves. Addy and her mother take the terrible risk of escaping by themselves because they want to be free and because they hope the family eventually will be together again in Philadelphia.” (Connie Porter, 1993)
