Home, Miss Moses

Inspired by the author's personal relationship with her, this compelling novel is a fictional account of the legendary Harriet Tubman and her life during the American Civil War.

Gripping and highly graphic, the novel reveals Tubman's days as a spy for the Union during battles in the South, presenting a new image of the horrors of war.

Harriet Tubman was a remarkable woman with immense courage and strength. She was a force force to be reckoned with. Her tenacity and persistence was motivational. What a hero!
