When Miles is returned to his owners' land, he speaks like a field hand and asks to be sent out of the house into the fields with the other slaves. Elijah has led Miles to believe that being out in the fields will make it easier to escape to freedom. Miles loves his surrogate mother, Mama Cee, and cannot leave her behind but will Elijah understand? Are there slaves who will betray the freedom seekers?
