مرحبا, اسمي Finn وسأساعدك على فهم هذا الكتاب.

إليك الشرح, مبسطا كأن عمرك 10 سنوات:

عمل ويليام ستيل في مكتب في فيلادلفيا يأتي إليه الناس الهاربون من العبودية طلبا للمساعدة. كان يخفيهم ويطعمهم ويكتب أسماءهم وقصصهم ويرسلهم نحو الحرية. بعد سنوات وضع تلك القصص الحقيقية في هذا الكتاب. ستقابل رجلا أرسل نفسه في صندوق، وأمهات حملن أطفالهن عبر البرد، وعائلات وجدت بعضها بعضا بعد سنوات طويلة من الفراق.
