Mathilde
Mathilde runs from the cruelty of slavery and makes her way North, helped along the way by Quakers and abolitionists. She encounters danger with every step, never sure who is a helper and who is an enemy.
The Abolitionists
When Joseph and Phebe Fessenden came to the peaceful village of South Bridgton, Maine to serve the newly founded Congregational church in 1829, they soon found themselves embroiled in controversy over the abolition of slavery and the evils of "demon rum." Tempers run high and Parson Joe often found himself running counter to public opinion. Mobs threatened him with tar and feathers, cannonballs, and kidnapping.
And then comes a dark-skinned woman whose very existence threatens all she comes in contact with. Will the community rise to protect the rights of all those who live in chains beneath freedom's wing?
Based on a true story.
