MEADVILLE, Pa., March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Along Freedom's Rails": an arresting tale of family and freedom, is the creation of published author Christine Caligiuri, a retired teacher and mother of six. She was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Caligiuri shares, "'Along Freedom's Rails' evolved from a family story of the discovery by the author's great grandfather in her mother's side, as a child of his father's station on the Underground Railroad in Southwest Iowa. 'Along Freedom's Rails' describes everyday life on an Iowa farm during the Civil War Era. It also brings to life the prejudices of the time and the drama of aiding escaped slaves. The authenticity of the family story is verified by the research being done by the Iowa Historical Society into the involvement of the Whisler family in the Underground Railroad."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Christine Caligiuri's new book is an absorbing family saga that not only explores the conflicts of values in a contentious time in American history but also reveals the many sources of hope and freedom that open up to those courageous enough to take a stand.
