This is the true story of James Lafayette, a slave who spied for George Washington's army during the American Revolution. But while America celebrated its newfound freedom, James was returned to slavery. His service hadn't qualified him for freedom. For James, the fight wasn't over; he had already helped his country gain its freedom, now it was time to win his own. Based on the children’s book by Anne Rockwell.
