Unspoken: A Story from the Underground Railroad

But the stranger’s fearful eyes weigh upon her conscience, and she must make a difficult choice.Will she have the courage to help him?Unspoken gifts of humanity unite the girl and the runaway as they each face a journey: one following the North Star, the other following her heart.Henry Cole’s unusual and original rendering of the Underground Railroad speaks directly to our deepest sense of compassion.
