I’ve always loved the Addy books! She is one of my favorites! Connie Porter is an amazing author and brings Addy to life!

About a 2 hour read.

Notable Quotes:

“People can do wrong for such a long time, they don’t even know it’s wrong no more.”

Things to be aware of in “Finding Freedom:”

Language:
- 1 stupid
- 1 dumb

Spiritual Content:
- Many prayers are said out loud and internally.
- A nativity play is put on
- Scripture is quoted
I was very proud of American Girl for the faith aspect that was brought to this book!!

Violence:
- Whipping
- A mention of a boy’s legs being crushed

Additional Notes:
- This book takes place during 1864 so keep in mind that slavery is a main part of this book and all that the cruel practice entailed.
- A slave is forced to eat worms.
- Families are separated.
- Girls disguise themselves as boys.
- Mentions of soldiers who are missing limbs
- A character is unkind to another, having her be her unofficial slave ( )

This seems to be several of the easier Addy books combined in a different format.
