Freedom Pen — Dionna L. Mann

Being mean ain't in nobody's blood. Reckon folks will argue that one until there's no more moonshine on the mountains. But in Freedom Pen that's what Sarah the Twerp believes. And soon she and her brother, Billy, are setting out on a courageous summertime adventure to free two pit bull pups from a violent future. Will the pups' heroes succeed in their quest, though they've been penned in by a violent past themselves? An inspiring story of hope, set in 1941 rural Virginia.
