Historical Fiction
The year is 1850. The place is near Oberlin, Ohio. The main character is an English Quaker, Honor Bright.
We start in England, take a rough sea voyage to America, and travel to Ohio . Here we encounter many differences from England, from newly discovered birds; a hummingbird, insects ; a lightening bug, to many colorful people.
A nicely written book about the Quaker faith, early Ohio and the underground railway. Honor Bright struggles with doing the right thing and doing the lawful thing.
I enjoyed meeting Honor, Jack, Donovan, and Belle, and Mrs. Reed. It was an enjoyable journey.
