The elder Morrisons offer lodging and protection for Hackney while he pursues his nocturnal missions. Liz and Hack become friends, and one night Quaker activists ask Hackney to guide a family of slaves with small children from the Ohio River to a place of safety a few miles through rough country to the north. Over their objections, Liz convinces Hack and her grandparents that she must go with him to help with the children. Things go very wrong, and Liz and Hack soon find they must flee northward toward freedom as fugitives themselves.\u003cbr\u003e More danger looms as the three parts of \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Line\u003c\/i\u003e intertwine near the end of the story.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324237676817,"sku":"CIN150095828XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53492568621329,"sku":"NIN9781500958282","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/150095828X.jpg?v=1751085725"},{"product_id":"passing-point-book-don-morrison-9780985592523","title":"Passing Point","description":"Passing Point is the true story of the collision of the steamers \u003ci\u003eUnited States\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAmerica\u003c\/i\u003e on the Ohio River near Warsaw, Kentucky, on the night of December 4, 1868.
