Hannah's Civil Pirate Joanna Emerson

Hannah's Civil Pirate Based on a true story. Hannah Jones knows little more than the evils of slavery. She yearns for freedom for herself and her children. But in Charleston, SC, in the 1850s, freedom is impossible for a black woman. Then she meets Robert Smalls, who doesn't think like anyone else she ever met before. And he may be daring and gallant enough to attempt the impossible--escape. If they succeed, they will win freedom for their family and friends. If they fail, the Confederate army would hang Robert as a pirate, and would kill his whole family. Or worse, send them back to slavery.
