About this product
Product Information
This historical and inspiring coming-of-age novel for young readers explores topics of both historical and contemporary relevance as it follows a harrowing year in the life of its intrepid teenaged narrator. Lexington, Kentucky, 1833: Calendula "Cal" Farmer, a thirteen-year-old white girl, has been raised by her abolitionist, freethinking mother to reason for herself, consult her inner wisdom, and come to her own conclusions. But when a flash flood devastates her family's home, Cal is unexpectedly thrust into domestic service in a wealthy family's mansion. There, she encounters firsthand the physical, intellectual, and emotional brutalities of slavery. Later, a cholera outbreak kills a quarter of the population, including Cal's mother, and Cal enters an orphanage, where she bravely begins another chapter in her young life. Cal's story is sure to captivate readers as she confronts the injustices and uncertainties of racism, class consciousness, epidemic disease, and personal loss with independent thinking, perseverance, and love.

Reviews
"From the moment a flood sweeps us into Calendula 'Cal' Farmer's story, we are drawn to this strong girl with her inquiring mind and capacious heart. Coming of age in Lexington in the 1830s, Cal's soul is forged by witnessing the cholera epidemic, the brutality of slavery, and the losses they bring. Taught by her mother to think 'the full of her thoughts,' Cal searches her world for love and meaning even as she struggles to survive. The Freethinker's Daughter will give young readers an emotional way into a moment in Kentucky history--and our national history--that is powerful in its own right and also speaks to the need for reparations. To underscore connections with our time and deepen discussion, pair this novel with I Was Here , the multimedia project created by Marjorie Guyon, Patrick J. Mitchell, and Nikky Finney. View the [images] online or in person and imagine Cal walking among them. Then imagine yourself. Cal will help put you there."--George Ella Lyon, former Kentucky poet laureate and author of Back to the Light: Poems, "Cal, the narrator and protagonist of this engaging novel set in antebellum Kentucky, is exactly the kind of fictional friend I looked for as a girl. She is bright, honest, inquisitive, kind, and has a fierce sense of justice. She is a freethinker. We continue to be haunted by and grapple with racial and class inequality just as young Cal was. Our unfinished national project--an America fully realized in equality and fairness--is the same one that Cal was reaching for. The Freethinker's Daughter reminds us how dreamers and thinkers and doers throughout history have inched us toward a more perfect union."--Katherine J. Black, author of Row by Row: Talking with Kentucky Gardeners, "Although hard things happen in this novel, The Freethinkers Daughter is not a maudlin tale. Not only does Cal show great strength of character, she is also a young girl of impressive convictions. Readers can't help but cheer her on as she grows into an abolitionist and champion for others. This is an important book. Cal is a model of what it means to be an ally to Black people crushed under the weight of systemic racism in one of the most shameful periods in American history. Young people who want to support and advocate for anyone forced to live in the margins can benefit from Cal's example. She also teaches readers, especially girls, important lessons on standing in their power despite opposition, and both trusting and using their voice for change. Read it, then go and do good."--Claudia Love Mair, coordinator for the Kentucky Black Writers Collaborative, author of Don't You Fall Now: A Memoir , and (as Claudia Mair Burney) author of the Exorsistah YA series
