This book was...... devastating, infuriating, and horrible, but it was also a beautiful must-read and I don't regret a second of it. I have always admired Harriet Tubman and wished I lived in a time where I could have helped, so I do my best in this day and age to help as much as I can because the world is not where it should be and that is not up for a debate.
This is a historical fiction giving the Underground Railroad a literal meaning. It follows Cora and the allies/traitors she makes along the way through her journey to find a life of freedom, off the plantation and out of the South for a better, humane life.
