Best-selling author Michael Phillips gives readers a glimpse into the past in this epic historical novel. One man and his family make the decision to follow God's will for their lives and free their slaves. The controversy over his decision sets off sparks as the lines are being drawn between North and South over slavery.

Richmond and Carolyn Davidson's lives changed the day they decided to follow God's will and free their slaves. When the Underground Railroad heard of this possible safe house in the turbulent South, runaways began appearing at their door. Unable to turn them away, the Davidsons realized they had to find a way to help the runaways and keep their family safe. The Davidsons' neighbors, the Beaumonts, do not agree with the Davidsons' decision. When the beautiful Veronica Beaumont sets her sights on Seth, the older Davidson son, the Beaumonts don't approve. How far will things go before Seth realizes he's playing with fire? As the issue of slavery heats up, neighbors and family members are forced to take sides in this dangerous time. Loyalties and families become divided as the South is plunged into civil war.

In this third and final book in the series, the Davidson family continues to help slaves to freedom as conductors on the Underground Railroad. With one son, Seth, a war photographer for a newspaper in the North and their other son, Thomas, fighting for the Confederacy, Richmond and Carolyn pray for both sons' safety. Meanwhile, the Davidsons are in financial trouble and about to lose their land. Cherity Waters has the ability to help them, but when she discovers Seth, the man she hoped to marry, with his old girlfriend Veronica, Cherity jumps to conclusions and questions the integrity of the entire Davidson family. All the while, the dangerous past of their mysterious neighbor, Mr. Brown, begins to intertwine with their own lives. As the turbulence of the Civil War disrupts a nation, will one family be able to survive intact as they seek to follow God's will?
