Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform March 4, 2017)
Many children fantasize themselves rescuing someone in need. Sally and Kip,a sister and brother with a dream, are no different. Their country is breaking apart over slavery. Their farm in Lake County Illinois of 1858 is at the center of the anger over these terrible problems: will slavery be extended into the west as our country grows? What happens to the slaves who runaway? When a young man named Jacob hides in their barn, Sally and Kip don’t hesitate to help him join the Underground Railroad on a dangerous trip to Canada. Slavery, with its cruelty and death, left its torment on everyone involved, the abolitionist families, the ministers, the legal system, the slave hunters and of course, the African refugees who risked their lives to be free. Jacob’s Ladder leads the young reader along the rivers, trails, farms and lakes of Illinois on a daring path to freedom through the eyes of a child and the vision of a determined slave.
