In this "searing work of historical fiction" (Booklist), Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Sharon M. Draper tells the epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known--except hope. Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a birthday present. Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money. The hope of a new life is all that keeps them going, but Florida feels so far away and sometimes Amari wonders how far hopes and dreams can really take her.Binding Type: Hardcover

Cozy and soft
Color: Cream White
This blanket is honestly one of the coziest things I’ve ever owned. The material is unbelievably soft—like wrapping yourself in a cloud of creamy, plush fur. It has that perfect balance of being lightweight but still incredibly warm, so you feel snug without getting overheated. The texture is so smooth and fluffy that it almost feels luxurious, and it instantly makes any space look cuter and more inviting.
What I love most is how comforting it feels after a long day. Whether I’m relaxing on the couch or getting ready for bed, it adds that extra layer of warmth and calm. Plus, the creamy color gives it a soft, aesthetic look that goes with everything. It’s not just a blanket—it’s a whole cozy vibe.
