Synopsis: Tim Allerton is angry. At school, Hollis Bodley tries to outdo Tim in everything and openly makes fun of Tim's anti-slavery views. At home, Tim's father constantly reminds him to keep his opinions to himself because their family business depends on customers from the South. Pam, Tim's younger sister, doesn't understand why he has a problem with slavery in the first place. "Slaves are treated just like family," she says. Then Tim and Pam are put into a situation where they can save the life of a slave baby whose mother has just been killed. Will Pain change her views on slavery . . . or will she continue to ignore the problem? And when a move to drive black people out of the section of the city called "Little Africa" puts Tim's good friend Ward Baker in danger, how can he help?
