In the second book in the Freedom Seekers series, Race for Freedom, a shadowy figure lurks on the dark riverfront near the Christina. Libby Norstad is sure that it must be the cruel slave trader Riggs, who had vowed that no slave of his will ever escape alive. Does Riggs suspect that the runaway Jordan Parker is hiding on her pa's steamboat?
Fearful that Riggs may try to board the Christina in disguise, Libby and her friend Caleb scan the crowds of passengers bound for Minnesota Territory. Has Riggs slipped by unnoticed? Because of a fugitive slave law, he can bring back Jordan into slavery even from a free northern state.
Jordan escaped once. Must he escape again?
