A young girls courage is tested in this haunting, wordless story.

When a farm girl discovers a runaway slave hiding in the barn, she is at once startled and frightened.

But the strangers fearful eyes weigh upon her conscience, and she must make a difficult choice.

Will she have the courage to help him?Unspoken gifts of humanity unite the girl and the runaway as they each face a journey: one following the North Star, the other following her heart.

Henry Coles unusual and original rendering of the Underground Railroad speaks directly to our deepest sense of compassion.
