"Why do weird things always happen to me?"
Dana thought she had solved all the historical mysteries in her parents'
house in Lawrence, Kansas. But now that her parents have turned the
house into a bed-and-breakfast, Dana isn't so sure. Their first guests,
the Burks, are a suspicious couple who snoop where they shouldn't,
searching for a secret document linked to the Weavers, a Quaker family
who lived in the house almost 150 years ago when the house was a stop on
the Underground Railroad.
As Dana combs the house for the hidden document, the story unfolds of
thirteen-year-old James Baylor Weaver and his journey in 1857 to bring
four slaves to freedom. James's travels will not only change his life
but will bring about a horrible choice -- one that holds the key to the
mystery Dana must solve before the Burks. Will she find the document in
time?
