One thousand feet of dark water on the Ohio River was all that separated the slave state of Kentucky from the free shores of Ripley, Ohio. For those seeking freedom before the Civil War, the journey was perilous. Enter John Parker: a formerly enslaved man who purchased his own freedom and became a successful businessman. Unwilling to leave others behind, John risked his life time and time again to secretly lead families across the river to safety. Based on the incredible true story of a hero on the Underground Railroad, this gripping tale reveals the careful planning, unshakeable faith, and raw courage it took to lead people out of bondage.
