"what a wonderful book that expresses the sorrow of the times of slavery and the progress of the underground railroad. Jasmine is moving on after the death of her husband Bradley and falling more in love with his brother Nolan. Nolan has been a great support with her growing son, spencer and with the business side of the shipping industry and horse farm Jasmine started with the help of her Irish friends, Paddy and his sister Kiara and her husband. Jasmine has endures more loss as she heads back to Mississippi when her mother and her Mammy fail to recover from yellow fever. While there she promises to free Mammy's unknown son from slavery. In keeping her promise she locates Obadiah and his wife, naomi, and their son Moses and returns to Lowell where she gives them a home and work for pay. Nolan finally asks Jasmine to marry him and while on their honeymoon, her son is kidnapped along with naomi, by a shoe peddler, Oliver, professing to be antislavery but really trying to make a profit off of recapturing the runaways and then selling them back into slavery. He really wanted Obadiah and takes naomi and who he supposed was moses as bait. His mistake causes more trouble. Oliver ends up getting found out about his skeem to sell the runaway slaves but only after he has sold naomi. Obadiah although a true freed slave goes back south to find naomi leaving moses in Jasmine's care. Mckinley decides to remain in Lowell and declare his feeling against slavery and finds that he wants to marry Violet Cheevers and works with her father in accounts with the associates. Loyalty is in question when defective cotton is delivered to the mills and family and employment ties are tested. The slavery issue becomes more of a family divide with the Wainwrights. Malcolm wainwright frees one of his slaves couples to raise Moses she that not only will moses be more happy but to mend the rift in his family and help in fulfilling jasmines promise to Obadiah."
