The above link tells the love story of Jeffrey and Dorcas. It is taken from a pamphlet titled “What became of the slaves on a Georgia plantation? : Great auction sale of slaves, at Savannah, Georgia, March 2d & 3d, 1859. A sequel to Mrs. Kemble's Journal” that Julius Lester drew a lot of the novel from. The story from the pamphlet is a little different from the book, because it says that Dorcas was sold with a family of four others, and that is why Jeffrey’s master will not buy her.

The pamphlet also has a small section about Bob and Mary, characters portrayed in Ch 5, that you can access from the above link!
