520 _a"Rhoda of the Underground" by Florence Finch Kelly is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Rhoda Ware, a young woman grappling with societal norms and her own moral convictions against the backdrop of antebellum America. The opening chapters introduce us to Rhoda's family dynamics, her relationship with her sister Charlotte, and her burgeoning involvement in the Underground Railroad movement as she confronts the realities of slavery. The beginning of the novel paints a vivid picture of Rhoda's idyllic life and her interactions with her family, particularly as her upbringing intertwines with the unfolding national tensions surrounding slavery. The narrative captures a delicate balance of family affection and contrasting beliefs, particularly in Rhoda's evolving perspective influenced by her father's abolitionist views and her romantic entanglement with Jefferson Delavan, who is revealed to be a slaveholder. This conflict intensifies when Rhoda encounters a fugitive slave and must navigate her emotions, societal expectations, and the implications of her choices, setting the stage for her moral awakening and pivotal decisions as the story progresses.
