The Wares are only one of the families that will soon be caught up in the burning issue of slavery with raids from the Border Ruffians out of Missouri and John Brown’s small army devoted to ending slavery and helping runaways to escape to the north. To aid and abet a runaway slave is a crime that carries a dear price.

This is an incredible, memorable, and powerful story with characters that come vividly to life in the midst of turbulent times.
