The saga began in Storm Clouds Rolling In and continues with On To Richmond. I am so glad I found these excellent books. This second story in this amazing series is a fantastic addition, and I thoroughly enjoyed it from the first sentence to the last. What I particularly like about these books is that even though each story is a continuation of the last one, Ms. Dye leaves the tale on a positive note, no cliffhangers!Carrie Cromwell is determined to help her father’s slaves make their way to freedom when they so choose. Her lifelong friend, Rose and her husband continue to help her run Cromwell Plantation, and her father is still in the dark that the overseer, Ike Adams is no longer in charge.When Rose’s mother, Sarah, dies, it is now time for Rose and Moses to travel on the Underground Railroad to freedom. As much as they hate to leave Carrie, when her father writes to say he wants Moses in Richmond, the time is upon them.After a journey fraught with peril, Rose and Moses find their way to Carrie’s dear friend, Aunt Abby, in Philadelphia. She takes them in, and Rose finds a Quaker school to attend, and Moses finds work, although Moses burns to do his part to help the union in the War Between the States. When he gets the opportunity to spy for General McClellan, he takes it, leaving Rose with Aunt Abby.Back at the plantation, Carrie carries on with her work, raising produce for the confederacy, even though she is still opposed to slavery. It has become increasingly more difficult to keep her secrets from her father. She now has had to lie to her father to protect what is happening on the plantation. It grieves her heart, knowing how hurt her father will be when he learns what she has done, but her convictions will not allow her to do anything else.As the north takes a path to Richmond that leads the Union army to Cromwell Plantation, Carrie is saved by the help of Moses who is with the northern army. He helps Carrie escape through a hidden passage. Carrie is shot as she makes a mad dash on her steady stead, Granite. Along the way, she meets Warren Hobbs, the young man her father and Robert Borden had sent to bring her to Richmond.What a whirlwind of emotions this book has been. On several occasions I had tears rolling down my face, at the loss of Rose’s mother, the conductor that helps Rose and Moses in their bid for freedom and Opal’s relative, Fannie and her husband, leaving their four children orphaned.This story is steeped in historical detail of the Battle of Bull Run and the winter operations of 1862. Ms. Dye brings to life the fears and emotions of the people, black and white, that are living through these events in history.I can’t wait to continue this amazing journey in the next story. If you are looking for a well-written historical fiction with strong romantic elements then you will want to read this epic saga of the south torn asunder and the north fighting to restore the union. I do want to mention, these books are not stand alone. You do need to read them in order to fully enjoy this rich reading experience. Happy reading!
