Author Jennifer Hudson Taylor shares an intriguing story of
faith, friendship, courage and love in “Path of Freedom,” part of the Quilts of
Love series from Abingdon Press. Her novel takes us inside the world of Quakers
and the Underground Railroad from the viewpoint of a Flora Saferight, a young
Quaker woman called into service on a dangerous mission because of her training
as a midwife.
Flora and her young sister Irene will accompany Bruce
Millikan as they spirit an escaped slave couple to safety in the north. There’s
a complication: Flora and Bruce have been at odds since their school days. Can
they declare a truce long enough to complete their assignment? Guided by a
quilt provided by Flora’s mother, the threesome begins their dangerous journey.
They collect the escapees in a specially built wagon and head north.
