The cover is misleading. This is a wonderful story about friendship and loyalty. Its one of the best well-written Christian novel I've read. Its a page turner. The ending was a real SURPRISE!I read it in one day--can't wait for the movie!

This is one of the best christian fictions I've read. You will want to read it in one sitting because its a page turner. The story is more about love and friendship than about slavery. Anyone who has been searching for their childhood best friend will love this novel.

I could not put this book down it is one of the best books I have ever read. It was really heartwarming. The two girls stayed friends even though they lived very different lives and could only communicate through letters. This is definitely worth reading.

This book takes you interchangably through emotions of laughter, fear, love, pain etc. All Tilly and Meredith ever wanted to do was get to see each other again. But because of the patriarchal and racist society they lived in they were unable to do so. But their love for each other and belief in a colorblind God continued their friendship via the pony express. They lived separate lives, but were always a part of each others life. This book is a reflection of the role God played in the lives of the slave and the slave owner--a contradiction in itself but a connection nonetheless. If you allow yourself to experience the lives of Tilly and Meredith, you will realize what a blessing it is to live your own life today.

what a wonderful story! i had a hard time putting this one down!

the story is about two young girls, one a slave and the other is the master's daughter. they share a wonderful friendship that spans their years. Meri is instrumental in Tillys's escape to freedom. They maintain contact with each other, hoping someday to see each other again. Tilly and Meri marry and have families,happiness and heartache. thru this all they still have each others support and encouragement.

i heartily recomend this heartwarming story

This book is a great find. My friend had recomended it to me and I'm glad I read it. It is a book about friendship. It has it's twists and turns, things you wouldn't think would happen, do. It was heart warming, and a tear jerker (well for me that is). I recomend this book to all my friends! Read and enjoy!
