On the day of their emancipation, field hands on George Thomas’ plantation threaten to leave unless he builds a school to educate their children. Young Sarah, the mistress’s personal slave, is conflicted between taking her freedom and dedication to her mistress but decides to stay on awhile if she can go to the school and study to become a teacher.

Cracke Road in Charleston, South Carolina was on land that used to be a plantation and it was rumored that when you sang "Sweet Hour of Prayer" you could see the ghosts of slaves that tried to run away. No one believed it until a young girl said a ghost was going to help her reunite with her mother in New York, and sure enough, two weeks after disappearing a letter arrived from New York saying that she was safe and with her mother.
