Description:...

Daughters of the Faith: Ordinary Girls Who Lived Extraordinary Lives.

Harriet Tubman was born a slave on a Maryland plantation in the 1800's. She trusts in God, but her faith is tested at every turn. Should she obey her masters or listen to her conscience?

This story from Harriet's childhood is a record of a young girl's courage. Even more, it's a story of God's faithfulness, as He prepares Harriet for her adult calling to lead more than 300 people out of slavery through the Underground Railroad.

"Young readers will identify with Harriet Tubman's courage and faith as she uses the strength she gains through adversity to lead others to a new life of freedom. Highly recommended reading." -- Lauraine Snelling, author, Golden Filly and High Hurdles series
