A Woman’s Journey to Freedom and Family in Philadelphia
A lone German mother travels to Philadelphia in the 1700s seeking her son, offering herself as a slave to cover passage and trials. An awaiting farmer buys her aid, revealing a powerful tale of sacrifice, faith, and a mother’s resolve for reunion and freedom. The piece parallels divine fatherhood with human charity and critiques social values of virtue, labor, and respectability.
