Tell us about your heroine --- the female lead in your book.: The heroine in my book is a real historical figure, a woman who was born a slave, helped take her family and friends North to freedom, a nurse and spy for the Union Army during the Civil War.
What's her name? Harriet Tubman, also known as Hat or Hattie, and Araminta as a child.
Why did you pick that name? Harriet Tubman was her real name.
Give us a brief description of how she looks. Harriet was a frail, wiry black woman.
Is there anything unusual about her appearance? No.
Who does she love? Why? Harriet loves Freedom. She had a husband but he stole her money and ran around with other women. His name was Tubman, but that is all he gave her.
Does this person love her? No.
Tell us about her family. Harriet’s family are all slaves. Her father runs a sawmill and she helps him.
Where is she from? Bucktown, in Dorchester County on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Does her hometown affect her behavior, thoughts and attitude? Her home town is part of a state divided on the question of slavery. Itinerant preachers tell the slaves that running away is stealing the master’s property, but the slaves know the Quakers and others will help them if they can get away from their home farm and avoid the patrollers.
What does she want out of life? Freedom.
What's her biggest secret? (Only share if it isn't a spoiler in the story.)
Did you write more than one story about her? No.
How would she describe you? Harriet would call me an old white woman. I don’t know if she would like me.
Is there anything else about your heroine that we need to know? Feel free to share. Harriet stopped at nothing to achieve freedom for her people and herself. Harriet Tubman founded what historians call the Underground Railroad.
