Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A New York Times Bestseler Honor Bright is a modest English Quaker who moves from England to Ohio in 1850, forced by family tragedy to rely on strangers in a harsh, unfamiliar landscape. Nineteenth-century America is practical, precarious, and scarred by the continuing injustice of slavery. Drawn into the clandestine activities of the Underground Railroad, Honor befriends two surprising women who embody the remarkable power of defiance.
Includes bibliographical references.
Forced to leave England and struggling with illness in the wake of a family tragedy, Quaker Honor Bright is forced to rely on strangers in the harsh landscape of 1850 Ohio and is compelled to join the Underground Railroad network to help runaway slaves escape to freedom.
