Description
In a time when freedom was not guaranteed and safety could vanish overnight, a young girl and her family navigate the dangerous realities of the Underground Railroad—learning how courage, community, and secrecy could mean the difference between captivity and escape. As they move from one hidden refuge to the next, the story follows the emotional stakes of flight and the practical work of those who risk everything to help others reach safety. Blending vivid historical detail with a child-accessible perspective, this novel explores themes of resilience, moral responsibility, and the power of collective action. With Lesa Cline-Ransome’s engaging, research-informed storytelling, readers are invited to see history not as distant legend, but as lived experience shaped by hope and hard-won freedom.
