Synopsis
The stars of the Big Dipper have led a runaway slave family to Deacon Fuller's house, a stop on the underground railroad. Will Tommy Fuller be able to hide the runaways from a search party -- or will the secret passengers be discovered and their hope for freedom destroyed?
Annotation
Upon being sent home for disrupting church services, Tommy Fuller is surprised to find a family of runaway slaves hiding in his barn. Unbeknownst to Tommy, his father's house is a stop on the Underground Railroad. Tommy and his father set off for the next safe haven with the former slave family hidden in a wagon of hay. But as Tommy's father leaves to find a hidden boat, a search party approaches the wagon. Can Tommy save the family from being caught?
