Redfield Farm: A Book Review

Redfield Farm: A Novel of the Underground Railroad by Judith Redline Coopey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is more than a story of the underground railroad. It is the story of a lifetime in a Quaker family and a beautifully woven story, at that. It follows the life of the main character, Ann Redfield, in first person through her own and familial adventures, toil, terror, joy, love and laughter. I could tell that the historical setting of this book was researched meticulously and was not surprised at all to learn in the About the Author at the end that the author is a native of Pennsylvania and a student of her state's history. If you're looking for a down-home historical read detailing the life of a Quaker family in the mid to late 1800s, including the Underground Railroad and the Civil War, this is it!
