Laylie's Daring Quest — Kersten Hamilton

Andros pointed at the squiggles on the page. "These marks are words. As I read them, they make pictures in my head." "What pictures?" asked Laylie. "A picture of a young man named Galahad,"Andros said. "He is the bravest and best young man alive, full of courage and valor. Galahad is on a quest." "What's a quest? Is it a horse?"Laylie asked. "A quest is a journey, through terrible danger, to find something you must have. Perhaps something that has been lost."

Laylie Colbert's fate as a plantation slave in the Old South of the mid-1830s seems inevitable... that is, until a new possibility ignites hope in her heart. Laylie begins a quest that requires her to keep dangerous secrets, take life-threatening risks, and endure difficult and unjust circumstances. As Laylie and her brother set their plan in motion, they face impossible odds. But can God tip the odds in their favor? Will their dream come true before time runs out?
