Bookroo's summary

Harriet Tubman, born into slavery, defies the odds by escaping through the perilous Underground Railroad. But freedom isn't enough. Driven by courage, she returns repeatedly, risking everything to guide others to safety. Will her relentless bravery change the course of history?

From the publisher

Born into slavery, young Harriet Tubman knew only hard work and hunger. Escape seemed impossible - certainly dangerous. Yet Harriet did escape North, by the secret route called the Underground Railroad. Harriet didn’t forget her people. Again and again she risked her life to lead them on the same secret, dangerous journey.
