One day a fellow slave named Caesar tells her to run away with him. They find what was known as the Underground Railroad that leads them to several places. Cora meets several good and bad people along the way in her adventures in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee, all the while being chased by a slave bounty hunter named Ridgeway. It's a very harsh life on the run for Cora, and the brutality described is very graphic--sometimes hard to read or imagine. But in the end, it's definitely worth the read.
