Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom (1986)

As revolutionary Underground Railroad station master Polly Johnson joyfully witnesses Frederick and Anna Douglass embark on their path to newfound freedom, her elation is tempered by an agonizing dilemma: the uncertain fate of her dearest friend and formerly enslaved house guest, Betsey Gibson. With slave-hunters closing in and Polly tirelessly preparing for the grandest party of her confectionery career, she and her husband grapple with the grave danger facing Betsey and her young daughters. Betsey's contemplation of returning South to reunite with family clashes with the looming threat of re-enslavement, thrusting Polly into a web of moral choices, personal sacrifices, and the relentless pursuit of freedom for those seeking refuge.
