Bestselling author, Tracy Chevalier, is celebrated for her rich, beautiful novels spun around captivating European historical figures such as Johannes Vermeer, the Dutch painter featured in Chevalier’s tour-de-force blockbuster Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Now, for the first time, Chevalier brings to life a unique and iconic part of American history. In The Last Runaway , Chevalier takes readers to the center of one of America’s most profound and affecting movements: the Underground Railroad, and the Quakers who made it run.
