In Caleb's new home, people are violently divided over the Fugitive Slave Law -- the law that makes it a crime to help a runaway slave. Even Caleb isn't sure if he'd help a slave to flee. But when he is rescued from drowning by an escaped slave, Caleb feels that he has a debt to repay. To help a cause he is not sure he believes in, should he break the law & risk his life by tangling with the dangerous & vicious slave catchers?Wisler, G.
