Acerca del autor

Stephanie Reed lives on the outskirts of Plain City, Ohio, site of a once-thriving Amish community. She gleans ideas for her novels from signs glimpsed along the byways of Ohio.

De la contraportada

Freedom
Some take it for granted.
Others consider it worth dying for.

Lowry Rankin knows all too well the cost of freedom; after all, his family s red brick home is the first stop on the Underground Railroad north of the Ohio River.

He s seen friends beaten for the color of their skin. He s watched simple farmers make a difference. He s even risked his own life transporting escaped slaves. But will Lowry be able to conquer his greatest fear when he s called to speak out?

This novel captures the excitement of the period, its dangers and moral dilemmas. There is romance and adventure. And, essential to the traditions of the Rankin family, there is witness to the role of God in mankind s affairs, both great and small.

During her childhood, Stephanie Reed's family would often pass through Ripley on their way to her grandparents' home. The signs she read there about the Rankin house were what prompted her to write this story. After working for nearly a decade with the Dayton Metro Library, Stephanie is currently a volunteer spotter for the National Weather Service. She lives with her husband and two children in Dublin, Ohio.
