"Trouble Don't Last" by Shelley Pearsall is a compelling historical novel set in the mid-19th century, revolving around a young enslaved boy named Samuel. As he navigates the harsh realities of slavery on a Kentucky plantation, Samuel learns of his impending sale, which prompts him to escape with the help of a courageous companion, a runaway named a girl named Hannah. Together, they embark on a perilous journey toward freedom, facing numerous challenges and threats along the way. The story explores themes of resilience, hope, and the quest for liberation against the backdrop of a turbulent period in American history. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
