In 1785, an African American woman, Elizabeth, was sold to her fifth enslaver. She had no idea that Robert Townsend, a son of her first enslaver, would locate her and safeguard her child--nor that Robert, one of America's first spies, had joined an anti-slavery movement. The paperback has a new chapter on recent discoveries about her life.
