Bookroo's summary

Fifteen-year-old Laura returns to New York, shocked to find her family aiding runaway slaves via the Underground Railroad. When a fugitive named Martin arrives, Laura faces a life-altering decision: uphold her Southern-taught beliefs or risk everything to help him escape. As tensions rise, Laura must navigate her own convictions and the dangerous path of freedom. Will she stand by her family or follow her heart in a world divided by slavery?

From the publisher

Laura is furious when she overhears her brother, Bert, and an old friend talking about her as if she were a stranger.
