Ms. Richardson suggested he continue working at the tannery, with the purpose of slowly establishing it as his own. After four long years, Amos establishes a homestead and a trade. In the fourth year, Amos meets a slave named Lily. Amos spends every evening except Sunday with Lily. Amos however, refused to marry Lily until he could offer her freedom. Amos worked, and at the end of that year, was able to buy Lily’s freedom. Lily however, died within a year of being set free. Amos however, proved his selflessness by being satisfied that Lily died a free woman. Amos soon found another slave he wished to free, Lydia. She was lame and walked with a crutch. Amos saved up for three years to buy Lydia. Amos was well into his sixties before he was able to free Lydia. Lydia, sadly, only lives a year of freedom before passing away. Once again, Amos is happy regardless of the time they spent together, because she died free. Amos knew when he freed Lily and Lydia, they would not have long to live, making his actions all the more altruistic. However, when Amos meets Violet, it is different. Violet is younger and stronger. Violet also has a daughter, Celyndia. If Amos frees Violet, Celyndia will be free also. Amos is able to save money to buy Violet, and they married November tenth, 1779.

Brooke welcomes Molly to high fashion and fame with an overwhelming dose of “sisterly love”. But in this town, no one is ever what they seem. I think that Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan built the story in a way that would

Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.
