Book Overview

Littsie O'Donnell, orphaned by the cholera epidemic of 1832, tells the story of struggling to raise her little sister and of her involvement in the Underground Railroad. Her friendship with a former slave is deepened as they both discover the meaning of freedom. The story brings to life abolitionists such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, James Birney and Theodore Weld.
