Description
"A freed slave, Violet Bowman enjoys live in Boston. But late one night two slaves appear at her door. Believing it is her Christian responsibility, she gives them a place to hide. Within a week, Violet is arrested for harboring fugitives. When Sarah Adams learns of Violet's imprisonment she travels from Charlotte with her husband and baby to be with her friend during the trial. Working with an underground organization committed to freeing slaves, Sarah and David become a part of a plot to rescue Violet. As she begins her dangerous journey to freedom, little does Violet dream that it will lead not only to deliverance, but also to love." -- Back cover.
