(2) YA In the continuation of the Underground Railroad tale begun in Steal Away Home, alternating parallel stories feature Dana, a contemporary teenager trying to solve a mystery involving Delaware Indians, and James, a Quaker boy of the 1850s leading a small band of slaves to freedom. The mixture of real and invented occurrences is a bit confusing, but Ruby conveys a faithful sense of the human experiences surrounding them.
