Fourteen-year-old Judah will stop at nothing to reach the Promised Land.  

 

In 1830s Maryland, rebellion simmers beneath the surface.

 

Born into slavery, Judah has known only cruelty and control. Yet even in the darkest moments, she holds tight to hope—and to the dream of freedom. 

 

But hope has a cost. 

 

When everything she loves is threatened, Judah is forced to make an impossible choice: remain silent or risk everything. As the world around her tightens its grip, Judah ignites a rebellion of her own.

 

Inspired by true events, Judah’s rebellion is a powerful story of courage, tragedy and the unbreakable will to be free.
