Robert Morgan's book Chasing the North Star.

In his latest historical novel, bestselling author Robert Morgan brings to full and vivid life the story of Jonah Williams, who, in 1850, on his eighteenth birthday, flees the South Carolina plantation on which he was born a slave. He takes with him only a few stolen coins, a knife, and the clothes on his back--no shoes, no map, no clear idea of where to head, except north...

This Robert Morgan is the North Carolina poet and author of Gap Creek and not the Robert J. Morgan who writes on faith and inspiration.

Good reading so far.
