A beautiful book in text and illustration.  Lesa Cline-Ransome chooses to begin Harriet's story as an old woman and her husband's illustration reveals her in all of her dignity, courage and resolution.  And then we are taken back in time through all of her many roles as a strong woman fighting for what she believed in and taking care of others as a general, a nurse and a conductor.   The halo behind her head isn't by chance. While there have been other books about Harriet this one is exceptional and should be in every library.
