Stay With Me - 9781530742370

When Jessica Larkin leaves her beloved family farm, she discovers the incredible world that awaits, full of adventure and people ready to stand up to all kinds of injustice. Jess isn't initially keen on leaving, though. She loves her family, their farm, and the lives they have carved out in the wilderness of New Hampshire. After her dear grandfather, Poppy, dies, she dreams of following in his footsteps and using the farm to train horses. Jess, however, is about to learn that the world finds a way in, and good times can't last forever. Caught up in circumstances far beyond her control, Jess is whisked away to the bustling town of New Bedford. Compared to her staid existence back home, the movers and shakers of the city are bursting with ideas. One of the biggest excitements in town is the abolitionist meetings. Jess is riveted by the speakers arguing for the abolition of slavery and the dangers many face as agents of the Underground Railroad. Will Jess be the movement's newest recruit? Is this the path she is meant to walk? Or will Jess be consumed by the big world and its even bigger ideas?
