O knihe
Because Thomas Bishop was born to a slave mother, he is condemned to a life of slavery even though he has a white father out there somewhere he has never met. But he has a dream-an impossible one. His dream to one day be free and prosperous enough to offer a secure future to the woman he loves, seems unlikely.
Even after being whipped mercilessly for learning to read-which the law in Missouri prohibits-secreted away in the middle of the night, sold, and then reported as dead, Thomas's dream still can't be squelched. Determined to escape the cruel institution of slavery, he and his companions set out into the unknown with bloodhounds hot on their trail, only to discover the Underground Railroad-a group of people filled with compassion for the unfortunate victims of slavery. With their help and an unshakable trust in God, he travels across Missouri to Kansas Territory, but even then, will it be enough to achieve the fulfillment of such a ridiculous dream?
In this novel a slave while pursuing his dream of freedom and prosperity for himself and the woman he loves connects with the Underground Railroad as he sets out on an unforgettable journey.
