Not long ago she discovered a skeleton behind a wall in her family's house -- a house in Lawrence, Kansas, that was once owned by a Quaker family, the Weavers. The diary Dana found in the sealed-off room revealed that the skeleton belonged to a runaway slave named Lizbeth Charles. \u003cbr\u003e Now Dana's house is a newly refurbished bed-and-breakfast, and the first guests are two shady characters who believed the house is hiding another secret.

It is up to James to fulfill a promise Lizbeth made before her death. He must travel hundreds of miles to retrieve four slaves and bring them to freedom. The journey will test his strength, endurance, and courage; it will also test his character, when he has to make a terrible choice... \u003cbr\u003e Readers of \u003ci\u003eSoon Be Free\u003c\/i\u003e will quickly be caught up in this fast-paced mystery-adventure that links teenagers from two different centuries.","brand":"Aladdin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130037846256,"sku":"9781481425520","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481425520_p0.jpg?v=1763622122","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481425520","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
