- "A historical narrative about my family's connection with the dramatic story of the abduction of a former slave off the streets of Philadelphia in 1853, which ended up in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Richard Neal, by then a free African/American, having struggled to obtain his family's freedom, was kidnapped in front of his children, followed by a frantic dash to get him out of the 'Free State' of Pennsylvania."--Back cover.
