Araminta Ross grows up enslaved on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, surviving family separation, brutal labour and a head injury that leaves her with seizures and vivid spiritual experiences. Renaming herself Harriet Tubman, she escapes north in 1849 but cannot accept freedom while those she loves remain in bondage.
Tubman returns to Maryland to guide relatives and other freedom seekers through an increasingly dangerous network of routes and safe houses. The novel presents her discipline, tactical intelligence and intense Christian faith together, recreating the emotional conflicts behind missions whose broad historical course is documented but whose private conversations are largely unknown.
