When we first meet Elsie Dinsmore, she is 8 years old and growing up in the mid-1800s on a wealthy estate called "Roselands." Unfortunately, Elsie has never known the love of a parent. Her mother died when she was born and she has never met her father. She lives with her relatives and the servants who work at Roselands (unfortunately, slavery had not yet been abolished). Elsie goes to school at home, along with the other kids living at Roselands who are her aunts and uncles. Friends often visit them.

Laylie Colbert is a girl very much like you. She is bright and imaginative. She likes to climb trees, play with dolls, listen to stories of high adventure, and even pick berries with her best friend, Amelia ("Melia" for short).  Laylie has an older brother named Luke, who she loves very much and looks up to. Laylie is very giving, and she has many friends. She is especially protective of the many younger children she is growing up with. In many ways, Laylie is just an ordinary girl.  However, Laylie was born into slavery, and because of this, she faces hardships and restrictions that even other girls in her era, who were not born into slavery, do not have to face. As a result, Laylie is bold and courageous. She is a heroine that all of us can admire.
