  a stationmaster on the underground railroad.
  
  When her beloved parents die in a carriage accident near their plantation in
  Virginia, 17-year-old Callie Carter comes home from France to discover her
  loathsome aunt and uncle have taken up residence in her home and are now her
  legal guardians. They treat her like a fool, so she plays the part until she
  can figure out how to save her home, herself, and the slaves who are now her
  responsibility. Everyone around Callie seems to be harboring secrets, and she
  cannot tell who is friend or foe—including her childhood friend, the
  mysterious Dr. Benjamin Sawyer. One day she discovers a secret passage in her
  family mansion, and she offers her home as a stop on the underground railroad.
  Can she outsmart her nefarious relatives or will one more family secret
  destroy Callie and everything she knows and loves?
