This fictional story is based on the true lives of Ann- a white woman abolitionist and Anthony- a Black slave who escapes the South only to be discovered and returned after a few months.

This is a book that will break your heart as you see the horror Anthony is put through. There are some very hard chapters especially during his incarceration in a jail. One at the end absolutely turned my stomach. But Anthony had this quiet strength to him that I really admired.

Ann had many difficulties, falling ill at a young age, but she also was an amazing person in her work.
