Addy's Short Story Collection

illustrated by Dahl Taylor, Philip Hood, Renee Graef, Susan McAliley, Gabriela Dellosso, and John Thompson
by Connie Porter

This keepsake anthology contains all five of Addy’s short stories: Addy Studies Freedom, Addy’s Wedding Quilt, Addy’s Little Brother, High Hopes for Addy, and Addy’s Summer Place!

The Civil War is over, and Addy Walker is growing up in freedom. She’s overjoyed when her family reunites in Philadelphia after being separated for more than a year. Life in the city is much better than it was on the plantation, yet Addy discovers that freedom doesn't always mean fair treatment. Despite hardships, she learns through her adventures that she must hold on to hope.

The collection includes “Looking Back” essays and a ribbon bookmark.
