What's it About?
James Weaver goes to Kentucky to help a family of slaves break free in 1857. More than 140 years later, Dana Shannon discovers James's secret mission and how it's connected to the Delaware Indians of today. James is forced to make a dreadful decision which will surely endanger either the runaway slaves he cares so deeply about, or the gentle Delaware people of Kansas. And Dana knows which one he chose so long ago.
