Very interesting perspective on the Quakers in the Underground Railroad. All the characters were flawed in a believable way; I enjoyed reading the way Honor approached race relations in an innocent, almost childlike way, contrasted with Quakers who had lived in America for quite some time. Very engaging writing style, I enjoyed the ending very much.
