Growing up in a rural Washington, North Carolina community in 1920, young Bright Ma is excited about her family's first reunion in 30 years. it is at this reunion she will learn of the family's history beginning in West Guinea Africa in the mid 1700's. The family history will tell of the slave trade that brought them to North Carolina, their new life on the plantation, and their journey to freedom on the underground railroad in the greater Washington area. Bright Ma learns of the secret codes her ancestors used to convey messages thru songs, dancing, clothing, food, flowers, bird calls and more and how these things aided their escapes to freedom. She is amazed at the genius and creativity they used as Freedom Seekers. She is asked by the family Elders at the reunion to become a 'Keeper of the stories' she learns about.

Bright Ma's stories are shared in a series of books giving the readers opportunity to learn and experience Bright Ma's adventures through local history, cooking lessons, songs, games and crafts. Young and old alike will enjoy Bright Ma's discovery of her family's history and it is hoped will inspire the readers to become 'keepers of the stories' of their own family history.
