In this sequel to The Unexpected Life of Oliver Cromwell Pitts by Newbery Medalist Avi, Oliver's adventures take him to the 18th-century American colonies, where he is forced to fend for himself in the harsh wilderness, live as an indentured servant, and come face-to-face with the brutality of enslavement. Convicted of thievery and transported from England to America, Oliver Cromwell Pitts, shackled to his fellow prisoners, endures inedible food, filthy conditions, and deadly storms on his voyage across the Atlantic. But the hazardous shipboard journey is nothing compared to the peril that waits for him on the colonial shores. In Annapolis, Oliver’s indentured servitude is purchased by the foul, miserly Fitzhugh, who may have murdered another servant. On Fitzhugh’s isolated tobacco farm, Oliver’s only companion is an enslaved boy named Bara. Oliver and Bara become fast friends with one powerful goal: to escape Fitzhugh. Oliver hopes he can find his sister, Charity, brought somewhere in the colonies on a different ship. Bara dreams of reaching a community of free black people in the cypress swamp who may help him gain his liberty. But first, the boys must flee Fitzhugh’s plantation and outrun their brutal pursuer and the dangers that lurk in the swamp.

Celestia, daughter of Jon and Martina has been taught well by her Gap-crosser father. Like him, she has learned to leap the Galactic Antipaterminal Passage across space and time. But she has also committed herself to the True Lord and to use her power to help others in need, whether physical or spiritual. Celestia has finally made it back to her own time in the 31st Century. She's not completely certain of the fates of her other Gap-crossing companions (but trusts that they've been sent home, as well)-except for Laken, a young man she met when lost back in the 22nd Century. Why has he been sent to her time, 900 years into his future? Can she trust Laken after some of the things he's done to her in their past? Unfortunately, her happiness to returning to her own time is marred by disaster.
