Author Susan Edinger’s New Book, "Freedom Friends," is a Captivating Story of a Young Girl Who Helps Her Family Protect Runaway Slaves During the 1800s

Millersburg, OH, December 13, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Susan Edinger, a retired elementary school teacher who lives in Millersburg, Ohio, with her husband, Joe, their two dogs, one cat, and a flock of chickens, has completed her new book, “Freedom Friends”: a poignant story of a young girl who does all she can to help the slaves her family is protecting in secret.

“Anna Clarinda makes a surprise discovery when she overhears voices coming from the downstairs summer kitchen,” writes Edinger. “Was a bow tie quilt used as a signal to runaway slaves? How can she help the runaways escape to freedom? Based on a true story in Westerville, Ohio.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Susan Edinger’s new book will transport readers back in time to the nineteenth century, inviting them to discover the different ways that safehouses marked themselves for slaves running towards freedom along the Underground Railroad.

With vibrant artwork by illustrator Claudia Gadotti, a native of Trento, Italy who has been illustrating children’s books for over twenty years, is sure to capture the hearts of young readers, making this a valuable tool for teaching all about the dangerous path to freedom many slaves once walked in America, and those who bravely helped them along the way.
