Description
Libby Norstad's life has changed to unusual. In 1857, when she comes to live on her father's steamboat, Libby's curiosity ensnares her in a mystery.
A closely held secret of Caleb, the cabin boy, seems determined to make her life miserable, while Jordan, a fugitive slave, must find a way to reach safety and freedom. As three men race to the riverfront, bloodhounds follow their tracks, and Libby's journey takes a dramatic turn.
Through her experiences, Libby learns about courage, integrity, and suspense in the midst of the golden age of steamboats, the rush of immigrants to new lands, and the dangers of the Underground Railroad. A gripping story that explores the complexities of freedom and compassion.
