On the eve of the Civil War in the American South, Carrie Cromwell, a fiery and independent young woman, confronts a choice that will alter her life forever. Bound by the traditions of her upbringing yet shaken by the realities of slavery, she is drawn into the perilous work of the Underground Railroad.
When the nation splits and war erupts, Carrie’s secret activity becomes a death sentence. To stand up for what she believes is right, she must risk her family’s love, her own freedom, and the survival of everyone she holds dear, while the story launches The Bregdan Chronicles and its multi-voiced view of the era.
