A beautiful book about Molly Bannaky, a woman who married a slave and became Benjamin Banneker's grandmother. After escaping death on the gallows and working for seven years as an indentured servant, Molly Walsh staked her claim to a piece of land in Maryland, and there she fell in love with an African slave.

One day she had the pleasure of writing her new grandson's name in her cherished Bible: Benjamin Banneker . . .
