A fearless girl. A world of chains. A journey toward freedom that will change everything. It's 1861 in Dorchester County, and thirteen-year-old Purrllee Gaytes has had enough. Born into slavery, she's determined that her thirteenth birthday will mark more than a new year of life, it will be her declaration of independence. Bold, sassy, and bursting with curiosity, Purrllee isn't content to "know her place." She dreams of more: freedom, dignity, and the wide-open world beyond the plantation gates. But dreams come with danger. What begins as innocent rebellion, climbing trees, testing her strength, daring to hope, soon spirals into life-and-death stakes. Torn between the cruel realities of bondage and an unshakable will to be free, Purrllee finds herself swept into a journey that will challenge her spirit, ignite her courage, and force her to grow up fast. Along the way, she'll encounter unexpected allies, heart-stopping betrayals, and moments that test the very core of who she is. Inspired by the resilience of real-life heroes like Harriet Tubman, My Name Is Purrllee is a powerful coming-of-age story brimming with danger, heart, and unbreakable hope. For readers who love historical fiction with unforgettable voices, this is a tale of grit, grace, and the fight for freedom that will stay with you long after the last page. Perfect for fans of Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad and Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings.
