Copper Sun by Sharon Draper

In Copper Sun, Amari lives a great life in her small village in Africa and is to be wed to the handsomest man in her village.  Life was perfect until the slave traders came and killed her entire family but her.  She is put on a slave ship and sent to America where she is bought by Clay Derby for a birthday gift.  There she encounters the dreadful life of a slave.  When the Mistress Miz Isabel gives birth and a african american baby is born things go downhill from there and Amari is forced to run away with Polly and Tidbit.  But Master Clay follows them.  Will they make it across the border to Florida before Clay captures them?
