Sweet Clara
and
the Freedom Quilt

Clara, a slave and seamstress on Home Plantation, knows that the Underground Railroad can lead her to freedom.  The only problem is, How to find it?  By piecing together scraps of cloth with scraps of the information gathered from the other slaves, she fashions a map so secret that even the master won't suspect.
