Summary: Stealing Freedom Stole Five Stars
Comment: 3)Many things happened in the book Stealing Freedom. The story is about Ann Maria Weems, a slave in Maryland who wants freedom. Ann's father is already free, but the rest of her family is not. Life started out good for her family, but took a turn for the worst when her brothers were sold away to slavery. Then, her entire remaining family, except her, is given freedom. Ann is stuck in the position of taking care of her Master's niece, Sarah. Ann soon realizes the hardships of slavery, and later of love. Alfred is the only man for her. Any hopes of having a life with Alfred are smothered when Mr. Bigelow, the man who bought her family's freedom tells her that they must flee. Ann is thrust into a life of deception when she is taken for a "ride" on the Underground Railroad. Ann must pretend that she is a boy servant for Mr. Bigelow while they are hiding from the police who are searching for Ann because there is a reward from her master. Ann, after a long time of hiding, finally makes it to Canada, but she can't see her family or Alfred. She is with her aunt and uncle who had already escaped to Canada, and starts a whole new life. Her mom had another baby and is expecting yet another one! Ann gets letters regularly from her family, but she misses Alfred. One day, she and her new friend Priscilla are wading in the water, when some men come near the water. Ann turns around and Alfred is there! Alfred and Ann then got married.

Comment: I am still in the process of reading the book but every one at my school was telling me about how good this book is so after a test I asked my teacher if I could read Stealing Freedom while the rest of the people finish there test. I fell in love with the book in the first chapter. I think I like this book alot because I am an african amrican so I think it in a way relates to my race and I. I would recomend this book to anyone...
