Lindy's constant companion, her doll Sally, witnesses their perilous journey to freedom. As Lindy and her mother flee through the Underground Railroad, Sally narrates their courageous escape. Will they find safety and a new life, or will the dangers of their journey prove too great? This tale of friendship and resilience captures the spirit of hope against all odds.
From the publisher
Lindy and her doll, Sally, are best friends–wherever Lindy goes, Sally stays right by her side. She’s with Lindy when she eats, when she sleeps, and even when she picks cotton. So, on the night Lindy and her mama run away in search of freedom, Sally goes too. This young girl’s rag doll vividly narrates her enslaved family’s courageous escape through the Underground Railroad. At once heart-wrenching and uplifting, this story about friendship and the strength of the human spirit will touch the lives of all readers long after the journey has ended.
