{"product_id":"2940150267916","title":"The Vanishing Woman","description":"In 1848, Ellen Craft became invisible.\u003cbr\u003e Ellen, a slave from Macon, Georgia, took trains and steamboats north, but the people all around couldn’t see her. They saw only a white man.\u003cbr\u003eEllen Craft’s mother was a slave, but her father was her master, and she had skin as white as his. So she posed as a white man, while her husband William posed as her slave. Ellen vanished, and she became William Johnson—an ailing gentleman seeking medical treatment in Philadelphia.\u003cbr\u003eThe Invisible Woman is based on a true story—one of the boldest escapes in American history. It was an escape driven by prayer, audacity, and the desire for family. William and Ellen knew they could never have children until they were free, so they embarked on the greatest of escapes, running a thousand miles to freedom.      \u003cbr\u003e Their incredible story riveted a nation, and it put the Fugitive Slave Act to the test, bringing attention to their plight all of the way to the White House. The ultimate irony: The invisible woman became one of the most visible symbols of freedom in 19th Century America.","brand":"Kingstone Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068353528048,"sku":"2940150267916","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150267916_p0.jpg?v=1763741529","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150267916","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
