Pleasantly surprised by this book that I had not heard of before.  I read it to cross off "Ohio" on my annual reading challenge.  I ended up learning a bit about the Quaker religion, which I had no clue was so different than most churches/religions in the USA.  I've known from other books that Quakers helped often along the Underground Railroad but had never read specifics about their religion.  I found it enlightening!
