Path of FreedomBy Jennifer Hudson TaylorDescription:
1850 - When Quakers Flora Saferight and Bruce Millikan embark on the Underground Railroad, they agree to put their differences aside to save the lives of a pregnant slave couple. With only her mother’s quilt as a secret guide, the foursome follows the stitches through unknown treachery. Book Takeaway:Don't be so quick to judge others. Take the time to get to know them and discover why they might be the way they are--and forgive them. Why the author wrote this book:My mother's family were Quakers and part of the Centre Friends Meeting Church in Greensboro, NC. I've always been fascinated by the Underground Railroad and the idea of using quilts as a map or guide--even though there is no historical fact to prove it. |
