Eliza's Freedom Road, An Underground Railroad Diary, by Jerdine Nolen
Abstract: A twelve-year-old slave girl begins writing in a journal where she documents her journey via the Underground Railroad from Alexandria, Virginia, to freedom in St. Catharines, Canada.
The author tied together the story quilt, story telling and diary very well. I wanted more of her story of freedom. I hope Ms. Nolen writes more about Eliza.
