Marie-Grace discovers a baby on her doorstep, thrusting her into a perilous situation. With a slave-catcher on the hunt, she and her friend Cécile must devise a daring plan to protect the child. As rumors of a deadly fever spread through New Orleans, Marie-Grace faces the challenge of keeping everyone safe. Can they outsmart the threats and ensure the baby's safety amidst growing danger?

From the publisher

Marie-Grace can’t believe what she finds on her doorstep one rainy night: a baby! More than anything, Marie-Grace hopes her father will let the little boy stay with them. But when a slave-catcher comes looking for him, Marie-Grace realizes the baby is in terrible danger. Together, she and her friend Cecile come up with a way to keep the child safe. Just when Marie-Grace thinks their plan will work, rumors of a deadly fever begin to swirl through New Orleans. Soon Marie-Grace wonders if anyone will be safe.”
