Taking with her only her faith, she must creep through woods with hounds at her feet, sleep for days in a potato hole, and trust people who could have easily turned her in. But she was never alone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In lyrical text, Carole Boston Weatherford describes Tubman's spiritual journey as she hears the voice of God guiding her north to freedom on that very first trip to escape the brutal practice of forced servitude. Tubman would make nineteen subsequent trips back south, never being caught, but none as profound as this first one. Courageous, compassionate, and deeply religious, Harriet Tubman, with her bravery and relentless pursuit of freedom, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarole Boston Weatherford \u003c\/b\u003eis an ALSC winner of the Children's Literature Legacy Award and has written more than fifty books, including \u003ci\u003eUnspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre\u003c\/i\u003e, which was winner of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards for Author and Illustrator, a Caldecott Honor Book, and a Sibert Honor Book.
