Plot

__Chains__ by Laurie Halse Anderson is about two slave girls that encounter misfortunes stemming off of prejudice and misunderstanding. When their mistress dies, the two girls expect to be freed--their mistress had freed them in her will. However, the lawyer that was present when their mistress wrote her will is hundreds of miles away in Boston, and Isabel's word is the only thing proving that the will even existed. The two girls are sold to a new owner, the loyalist Lockton family. 10/10
