| Publisher Description: Separated from their mother and lost in the woods, two runaway slave children travel the Underground Railroad in search of both freedom and a forever home. Thomas and Cassie's mother hadn't included Old Red in her plans to meet the Underground Railroad conductor. At the planned meeting time, the master's old hound dog ripped her plans to shreds as surely as he would her two children. Using herself as a decoy, the family separated. Her final words to Thomas and Cassie were to follow the river and stay in the water to hide their scent. They did as she instructed not knowing if this would be the last time they would see her, or that this night would be the beginning of a long, dangerous journey with an unknown future. |
