Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Race for Freedom: Late at night, as the Christina puts out into the Mississippi River, Caleb and Libby keep watch on deck.

Then a dark shape steps from the shadows. Jordan moans. "It''s Riggs!" (The slave-trader.) The cruelest man Caleb knows. Jordan''s owner stepping out, so they know he''s on their trail. From that moment the Freedom Seekers can never forget that because of a fugitive slave law Jordan can be taken back into slavery, even from a free northern state. Nor can they forget that if Captain Norstad is caught hiding a fugitive he can lose the Christina. Then Elsa, a new-found immigrant friend, faces illness and possible death. Will Libby''s need for courage bring her to the Lord who promises, "Do not fear, for I am with you"? Can the Freedom Seekers live the courage that offers life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to every person? Can they go beyond fear to put that courage into practice?
