Norah, a newly freed enslaved person, has one thing on her mind after emancipation: her mother. Norah must navigate a series of obstacles to place an advertisement in a newspaper to help find her mother. After the Civil War, many newly freed people placed “last seen” ads in newspapers, trying to find family members lost to slavery. These moving ads — full of names, memories, and hopes — reveal the deep trauma of separation and the enduring strength of African-American families.
