Shadrach

In 1935, 99-year-old former slave Shadrach asks to be buried on the soil where he was born to slavery, and that land is owned by the large Dabney family, consisting of Vernon, Trixie and their seven children, and to bury a black man on that land is a violation of strict Virginia law.

The Wilson family moves from the city to the country. There are a great many adjustments to be made. But when twelve-year-old Anna Wilson takes a shortcut home from school, she encounters a horse that changes her family's life.
