About The Book

FOLLOW THE NORTH STAR

A breathtaking tale of love, loss, and unyielding hope, Follow the North Star is a sweeping historical novel that illuminates the hidden strength of the enslaved and the indestructible bonds of family.

When Grace’s husband is violently sold off the Pinehurst Plantation in 1860 Virginia, her world collapses. Left alone with her young son Jonah, Grace must summon an inner resolve to survive the unthinkable—and to dream beyond her chains. As whispers of the Underground Railroad echo through the South and the North Star beckons with the promise of freedom, Grace clings to faith, memory, and the possibility of reunion.

Told with unflinching honesty and lyrical power, Marian Cover Dockery weaves an unforgettable narrative of generational trauma, spiritual resilience, and the enduring pursuit of dignity. This is more than a novel—it’s a tribute to those who were never allowed to write their own stories.
