About this audiobook
In the volatile years preceding the Civil War, the nation's fragile unity hangs by a thread over the bitter issue of slavery. A beautiful, passionate abolitionist operates a secret network to shuttle escaped slaves toward freedom, risking her life with every covert mission. Her dangerous double life crashes into the path of a prominent politician who embodies the very compromises she despises. As political tensions explode into violence, their conflicting ideals spark a fiery, forbidden attraction. They must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in the ultimate battle for human liberty.
