Everything seems to be going against the rescue. Will they find a way to salvage the life-and-death mission?

From the golden age of steamboats, the rush of immigrants to new lands, and the dangers of the Underground Railroad come true-to-life stories of courage, integrity, and suspense in the Freedom Seekers series.
