Long ago Jordan's parents named him in the belief that one day
he would lead his people across the Jordan River into the Promised
Land of freedom. Now Jordan, as a newly escaped fugitive, plans how
to rescue his mother, two sisters, and a brother from slavery.
But has an escaped convict crept aboard the "Christina"? Did he
overhear Libby's talk with Caleb-her giving away of a life-or-death
secret?
Sick at heart, Libby knows she has failed her friends. Not only
has she risked Jordan's safety, she has endangered the mission to
rescue his family. Will she ever be trusted to work in the
Underground Railroad? If she takes part, can she be a Freedom
Seeker who holds steady to go beyond fear?
Soon after Caleb and Jordan leave the "Christina," a log raft on
the Mississippi breaks up in front of the steamboat. With
everything seeming to go against the rescue, will Jordan's
practical skills and ability to recognize God leading make the
difference between life and death? Or will the escaped prisoner rob
Jordan, not only of his freedom, but also the freedom of his
family?
