Biddy Mason was a slave who grew up learning about healing with herbs and plants from Granny Ellen. As an adult she was sold to Robert and Rebecca Dorn Smith who eventually move the family and their slaves to Utah and later to California. Because California is a free state, Biddy hopes for freedom for her and her girls, but Robert Smith ignores the law. The Smiths decide to move to Texas; Biddy knows she won’t get freedom there. Thanks to an intervention by friends, Biddy successfully pleads her case in court. Introduces a lesser-known person in history who rose from slavery to become a successful business woman, respected community member and landowner in Los Angeles.
