  and kidnapped younger siblings\, stepping into the epicenter of a growing
  maelstrom of violence along the Erie Canal.</p>\n<p>Deeply relieved to ha
 ve escaped a powerful man intent on forcing her to marry him in Ireland\, 
 Aileen falls in love with a vibrant\, idealistic abolitionist\, Jedidiah\,
  who helps her desperate search for her family\, with the odds of finding 
 them dwindling by the day.</p>\n<p>They encounter violence\, slave-catcher
 s\, charlatans\, and tragedy. After witnessing an enslaved man and woman t
 aking their own lives to escape re-capture\, they commit their souls and e
 nergies to the abolitionist movement."&nbsp\;</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\nhttps
