The Underground River by Martha Conway

Historical Fiction

2018 A to Z Challenge - U

Like a calm river that can quickly turn rough, this book started slow but flowed along a strong current and the last 150 pages...what a ride!

I could relate to the main character, May; who learned of the horrors of slavery as she traveled the Ohio River (the dividing line between the North/South a/k/a Free/Slave states) who had empathy but like many now and then who acknowledge a societal problem but feel it is too large for their actions to make a difference so they do nothing; yet when forced to, would/could/should we act?
