This is a fantastic song for the “unsung heroes”!

This book had me holding on the entire time I listened to it. I appreciated the fact that I got to hear the background of another person who played a rather integral part in the underground railroad. Harriet Forten Purvis and the beautiful way at K. T. Glynn told and weaved this beautiful story has me so grateful for all of the people who diligently work to shape and protect the lives of hundreds, thousands, and cumulatively millions, all without getting any credit or recognition in mainstream history books. I definitely feel that more books like this need to be written for the “unsung heroes”. K. T. Did an incredible job of doing justice to yet another secret and integral character in the shaping of US history. I sincerely hope more people get their hands on this book and I can’t wait to see what “unsung hero” Glynn writes about next!

Need their stories told

I love, love, love how K.T. Glynn is shining a much needed light on overlooked heroes of times past (we’re going back to the 1800s here). I thoroughly enjoyed K.T. Glynn’s past release on Sophie Scholl and the White Rose (The Silent Defiance) and so, naturally, I was excited to dive into this next installment about Harriet Forten Purvis, who not only stood in integrity for her cause but also displayed an immense amount of inspirational leadership in doing so–something that many of us in this day and age can learn from. A huge part of these titles I enjoy is simply educating myself on parts of history that have simply not been brought to the forefront as much as they deserve and that need to have their stories told. Not only did Harriet bring about groups that worked to abolish unethical wrongs of the time, but stood as a strong voice wrapped in courage.

Powerful and Inspiring

Listening to this audiobook was an emotional journey through courage and resilience. The storytelling brought history to life, making me feel the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for freedom. The narration was engaging and made every moment feel real. I was deeply moved by the strength and determination of the characters. This is a story that will stay with me for a long time.

History That Actually Hit Me

I didn’t expect to get this pulled in, but once it started, I was all in. Hearing about someone who’s not usually in the spotlight made the story feel fresh and important. As a guy, I really respected how much she pushed through and took charge. It gave me a new perspective on that era, and honestly, I walked away thinking differently about that time in history.

An Unseen Hero's Journey of Courage

Breaking Chains takes a look at the life of a historical abolitionist whose work had been undervalued. I was especially struck at how her rebellious dedication to equality transformed the fight for freedom. This educates about her individual struggle but also upends traditional popular narratives for histories. The insights into her leadership strategies and relationships add powerful context to her role in the abolitionist movement. If you’re eager to learn about true heroes whose stories have been hidden, this is a must-read!
