From the publisher

In a strange city, finding help might be a matter of life or death. Can the Freedom Seekers spot the eerie signal in time to secure their safety?

Jordan makes plans to travel to Chicago and turn over the gift to help fugitive slaves. But then a dangerous man escapes, and if he recognizes Libby, Jordan, and Peter, they will be in danger.

When a disguise for Libby seems the only answer, it will require a sacrifice she isn't sure she's willing to make.

Will a life-threatening steamboat accident and Libby's new willingness to forgive bring the breakthrough she needs?

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.
