Roxanna Copeland is the daughter of Celia and Caleb Copeland and the sister of Roger. The book calls her an early and important “friend” of Amos Fortune, although his enslavement means that their relationship cannot be truly reciprocal. Amos treasures Roxanna for teaching him the word “king,” thus giving him the English word necessary to describe his innate sense of dignity.
