The Road from Chapel Hill by Joanna Catherine Scott
Publisher: Penguin/Berkley
Date: October 31, 2006  The Road from Chapel Hilldeals with resistance to the Confederacy in Civil War North Carolina, and was inspired by the true story of a runaway slave from Chapel Hill.
At its heart is the impossible love between a white girl and the slave she owns and liberates, his struggle to seize freedom in his own two hands, and the work of a group of Union loyalists who risk their lives to help dissenters from the Southern cause.
