Her father was white and her mothe...Originally, no. Her father was white and her mother was black. Her mother was free, but died when Hadessah was little. Her father went to war, fighting for the union side. He left Hadessah with his great aunt and uncle, who made her a slave in their own home, unknown to the father. The father died. Hadessah ran away. In those days, that was a dangerous thing to do, because even if you are technically free, some person could take you to a slave market to be sold, which is exactly what happened to Hadessah. Charlie rescues Hadessah from the plantation she was sold to, and they begin to travel North. That's where this leaves off.<br /><br />Hope that helped! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
