I read a book when I was about 10 (so its been 20 years). I have no idea of the title but I remember alot of details. Hoping someone out there can help me. It was a story set in the civil war era. It was about a slave girl named Corey. She was a house servant who snuck food to weary soldiers and freed slaves. She was freed herself and went on to become a Quaker and meet President Linclon and became apart of the underground railroad for freed slaves.(I remember she found her mother (Mary?) living under a bridge) There were two men who fell in love with her and the romance part was no more than a hug and kiss. The book made such a huge impression on me. (read it 3-4x) I would like for my daughter to read it. Does anyone know the Title of this book?

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but there's a book titled "Flying Free: Corey's Underground Railroad Diary" by Sharon Dennis Wyeth. This Corey is a boy and the reading level is for ages 9-12.

I wish I knew the title of that book too---it sounds wonderful. If you cant find it, I'd like to recommend Summer of My German Soldier. A nice short book about a young jewish girl who protects and feeds an escapee POW (who is in a way innnocent). Their relationship is of course nothing more than a kiss at the end, but it really is a touching story with so many elements in it!
