Free! is a collection of true stories from the Underground Railroad written for readers of all ages.
It chronicles the heroic journeys that real men, women and children took on their way to freedom. The reader goes inside the box and under the burlap sack to learn what it was really like to escape from slavery.
Cary brings to life an important and overlooked part of American history by telling these remarkable stories of hope and human struggle, which are all the more amazing because they really happened.
