When Caesar,a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the UndergroundRailroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape.Though they manage to find a station and head north, they arebeing hunted. Their first stop is South Carolina, in a city thatinitially seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masksan insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And evenworse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on theirheels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight,state by state, seeking true freedom"--Publisher's description
