Thirteen-year-old Phoebe has always dreamed of leaving her life as a slave behind. When she meets Liney, a strong young woman who picks cotton next to her, they form a plan to escape together. One night, Phoebe, Liney, and Liney's two small children flee, following the clues from songs and stories they have heard. They elude slave catchers and reach the first stop on the underground railroad. It is only one safe house in a chain that leads all the way north to Canada. But between them and freedom, lie miles and miles of unfriendly country and dangers too horrible to imagine.
