Sarah hides Sky, who is suffering from swamp fever, in the family barn, but her parents eventually discover her secret. Rather than sending the boy away, Sarah's parents care for him and eventually adopt him. Sarah is happy that Sky has survived his illness, but feels jealous of the close bond he forges with her parents. But when white supremacists threaten her family's farm, Sarah learns just how much Sky cares for her and her family. AUTHOR: Patricia McKissack
