Where the Sunflowers Grow

Adeline Vickery has never broken a law in her life—until the night she finds a wounded fugitive hiding in her hayloft. Spring 1862, Maryland: with her brother gone to war and her dairy farm barely surviving, Adeline risks everything to shelter Eliza Mayfield, an enslaved woman shot while fleeing a Virginia plantation to find the young son torn from her arms. A slave-catcher with a warrant is already on their trail, and the woman who sent him carries a secret that binds all three of them in ways none can yet imagine. What follows is a desperate journey along the Underground Railroad through a landscape torn apart by the bloodiest conflict in American history.
