There is a conversation between Moses and his mother, Jochebed. There is trouble in the desert. People are fed up with manna and are staging protests, talking about going back to Egypt where at least they could get a decent meal. Jochebed asks Moses if he couldn't intervene and maybe ask God for some chickens for some chicken soup. Moses is infuriated but says he will think about it. Jochebed also wonders why, in almost 40 years they still haven't found the promised land. Moses reprimands her. You do not question God. So you won't ask for the chickens? Moses will give it some thought. What's for breakfast? What's for breakfast? Guess.

A Canadian abolitionist, Dr. Milton Alexander Ross, risks his life to help slaves escape to Canada. He has many hats, medical doctor, ornithologist, naturalist that he uses to secure invitations to southern plantations as a visiting scientist doing research and in this way, comes into direct contact with slaves. Dr. Ross was a Scottish Presbyterian, he didn't smoke, swear, drink, etc. and did not approve of anyone who did, especially women. In short, he was a stuffed shirt. His attitude toward any slave he met was paternalistic. In North Star he was studying the southern bird, the Grebe at the Carlton plantation when a slave disappeared. Ross was accused of helping him escape. In the first scene he is being tried in a southern court and sentenced to be hung when Mrs. Carlton showed up in court with the slave in question. As he is leaving town he is approached by a beautiful woman, Melanie Turner, who tells him she is escaping from a dangerous abusive husband. Can she ride out with him? He agrees and then, during their journey, finds out that she is actually an escaped slave - a very immoral one - she smokes, swears and is escaping from a brothel and from the very unpleasant lawyer, Simon Jarrell,who was the trial lawyer in the court case. However, despite his strict code of morals Ross is also an adventurer and is intrigued by the idea of escaping with light-skinned Melanie under their very noses - as long as she behaves. In the next scene in the woods Ross has arranged to meet with another escaped slave - Girard - who it turns out worked with Melanie in the same brothel. The brothel connection is news to Ross. Girard, with instructions from Ross, goes on his way. Ross, exhausted from the days' events insists they go to an inn for refreshment and rest before going on. There, he apologizes for thinking harshly of her while she explains the circumstance of her life. As they continue on their journey, finally having to go underground, Ross, a married man, discovers to his confusion that he is strongly attracted to Melanie, not only mentally, but physically, which he doesn't know how to handle. Girard comes into their life again. They are being pursued by Jarrell who is determined to get his get and punish Melanie. Finally, after a few twists and turns, Melanie and Ross end up in an abolitionist home in Ohio, preparing to cross into Canada, when Jarrell catches up to them. They manage to avoid him and end up in Canada, safely. Through Melanie, Ross has taken a journey and is a changed man. In the end they part ways and Ross goes on to new adventures. Here is a draft of the book (OPEN TO CHANGES) and lyrics. There is no composer at this point, but contact me if you are interested in collaborating.
