When John Brown\, the legendary abolitionist\, arrives in the area\, an argument between Brown and Henry’s master quickly turns violent. Henry is forced to leave town—with Brown\, who believes he’s a girl. Over the ensuing months\, Henry—whom Brown nicknames Little Onion—conceals his true identity as he struggles to stay alive. Eventually Little Onion finds himself with Brown at the historic raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859—one of the great catalysts for the Civil War. An absorbing mixture of history and imagination\, and told with McBride’s meticulous eye for detail and character\, The Good Lord Bird is both a rousing adventure and a moving exploration of identity and survival. \nCall 607-594-6791 and ask about receiving a free copy of this book\, while supplies last!
