She is a slave. It's dark in the morning when Ella May heads to the fields to pick cotton. And it's sunset when she comes home. But her day isn't done, not yet. Ella May still has important work to do. She's got to listen. Each night Ella May and her friends secretly listen outside the windows of their master's house. The children listen in the hopes of gleaning information about their fates and those of their loved ones.\nWho will be sold? Who will stay? The lives of slaves depended on the inclinations of their owners. They had no control over their daily lives or futures. But they could dream. And when the promise of freedom appears on the horizon, the children are the first to hear it.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1585364193\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1585364193.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gloria Whelan|Mike Benny\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Missing dust cover, otherwise book is in good condition with some wear from normal use.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43590155010109,"sku":"BVV.1585364193.G","price":10.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1585364193-0.jpg?v=1788733315","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-listeners-tales-of-young-americans","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
