Glory over everything

It's 1830, and Jamie Pyke is living comfortably as a Philadelphia aristocrat when an old promise draws him back to the South and back to his muddy past. A child of a plantation master and his kitchen slave, Jamie thought he abandoned his old identity forever, but a quest to save his young friend Pan uncovers Jamie's past, putting both their lives at risk. Jamie, Pan, and Sukey, another escaped slave, must navigate the Underground Railroad and make their leap to lasting freedom.
