But the journey isnt easy-the terrain is rough, the bandits are brutal, and every interaction carries a heavy undercurrent of danger.And then theres the stranger they encounter and befriend: a mysterious soldier named Caesar, whose Union emblem brings more attention-and more trouble-than any of them need.All three are propelled by the promise of something long denied to them: freedom, land ownership, and a place to call home-but is a strong will enough to get them there?Includes stunning black-and-white illustrations throughout!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534440333600,"sku":"NEW0316299332","price":17.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/8118sa_1QCL.jpg?v=1777360828","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/wills-race-for-home-coretta-scott-king-author-award-winner-0316299332","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
