Before she becomes Harriet, the legendary "conductor" on the Underground Railroad and the "Moses of her people," she is little Araminta "Minty" Wren. Born under the brutal lash of enslavement, her first breaths of life are owned by her mother's master. Growing up, Minty feels like a neglected weed, ignorant of liberty, neither happy nor content. Slavery is the next thing to Hell. But hope flickers like a tiny flame within Minty's heart. Freedom will be hers one day. However, seizing freedom for herself is not as sweet without her loved ones to share it with. Armed with her wits and courage, Minty embarks on daring missions to rescue her beloved family from the claws of slavery. The odds are stacked against her as the shadows of slave catchers lurk in every corner. Will she be able to save her family and lead them to freedom, or will her attempt at liberation be cut short?
