In My Name is Sally Little Song, Sally Harrison and her family are slaves on a plantation in Georgia.  But when they learn that Master is planning to sell Sally and her brother, the family escapes to seek shelter with a tribe of Seminoles who are rumored to adopt runaway slaves.  After a perilous journey, Sally’s family finds and joins the tribe.  But while her father and brother easily adjust to Indian ways, Sally can’t seem to find her place.  Combing the poetry of Sally’s songs with the heart-racing tension of the family’s escape, author Brenda Woods delivers a breathtaking story of a girl caught between worlds
