Stealing Freedom 0440417074

Ann Maria Weems worked hard everyday from sunrise to sunset obeying the orders of her master. One day, Ann’s whole family – the only joy she knew – was gone. At the time, Ann was only 12 years old. She was overcome by grief, and her only hope of gaining her freedom and finding her family laid in a perilous journey: the Underground Railroad.

Inspired by the true story of Ann Maria Weems and her escape to freedom via the Underground Railroad in the mid-1800s.
