Synopsis

The dream had been to escape with Flint. But she had entered into freedom alone. Now she must live without him or risk getting caught if she goes back for him. But she had never been one to back down from a challenge. She has the help of the Abolition Society, and the Underground Railroad.

But with tensions brewing between slave owners of the South and the abolitionists of the North, as well as within the Society itself, Mosana is faced with making some very tough decisions.
