Book
Passages of Hope
During renovations to her grandmother’s Philadelphia house, Gracie Kingston discovers a concealed room connected by a passage to the nearby home of abolitionist William Still. Questions about the property’s ownership suggest that the building was part of a larger network whose history was deliberately obscured.
In 1855, Olivia Kingston shelters an escaping mother and child in the same room while trying to identify an impostor posing as an Underground Railroad conductor. The intertwined stories show how secrecy could protect fugitives but also enable betrayal. Gracie’s modern investigation restores the risks taken by people whose contributions survived only in architecture and family memory.
