Bookroo's summary

In the 1800s, young Harriet Tubman, born into slavery, grapples with a profound choice: obey her masters or follow her conscience. Her faith is her guide as she navigates a world of adversity, preparing her for a future of leading others to freedom. This tale of courage and divine faithfulness reveals the early trials that shaped Harriet into a legendary figure of the Underground Railroad. Will her inner strength and belief in a higher purpose be enough to change her fate and the lives of many others?

From the publisher

Daughters of the Faith: Ordinary Girls Who Lived Extraordinary Lives.Harriet Tubman was born a slave on a Maryland plantation in the 1800’s. She trusts in God, but her faith is tested at every turn. Should she obey her masters or listen to her conscience? This story from Harriet’s childhood is a record of a young girl’s courage. Even more, it’s a story of God’s faithfulness, as He prepares Harriet for her adult calling to lead more than 300 people out of slavery through the Underground Railroad. “Young readers will identify with Harriet Tubman’s courage and faith as she uses the strength she gains through adversity to lead others to a new life of freedom. Highly recommended reading.” – Lauraine Snelling, author, Golden Filly and High Hurdles series
