Ellen and William Craft embark on a perilous journey to escape slavery, posing as a white man and his servant. As they travel a thousand miles to Philadelphia, each day brings new dangers and the risk of discovery. Will their courage and cunning be enough to secure their freedom, or will they pay the ultimate price? Follow their tense and daring escape, where every moment could be their last chance at a new life.
From the publisher
On December 21, 1848, Ellen Craft and her husband, William, slipped out into the cold, dark night and took their first steps towards freedom. They were runaway slaves. Posing as a white man traveling with a slave, Ellen courageously boarded a train bound for Philadelphia. Could they actually make it a thousand miles without being discovered? As each tension-filled day passed and freedom got closer, Ellen and William risked everything - even death - to be free.
