SUMMARY: This is a great story that shows how much pain and suffering that Harriet TUbman went through. When reading this book I felt as though I was crouching in the hole with her, hiding from the men searching for her. I think this would be a great book to read during Black History month, or even when learning about slavery. This book is a great eye opener onto how the slaves were treated, and just how hard it was for them to escape.
