On an ill-fated night, police officer Carson Blake makes a decision
that will not only jeopardize the future of his family, but silence the life of an innocent young man.

HARRIET TUBMAN
By Beverly Lowry
"...Beverly Lowry has breathed life into a legend and made her story whole. Harriet Tubman is a revelation, a wonder. This is the portrait she deserves." —Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author
of Bel Canto and Truth and Beauty
With 62 photographs, illustrations, and maps, Lowry goes beyond the familiar tales to create a portrait of Tubman in lively imagined vignettes that, as Lowry writes, "catch her on the fly." Integrating extensive research and interviews with scholars and historians into a stunningly rich and mesmerizing chronicle, Lowry brings Tubman to life as never before.
