The Adventures of Sunny Washington (Book Three) is the third in a series.

Book Three continues the story of the runaway slave, Sunny Washington, as she is making her way to Canada alongside her friends, Polly, Hud, and her beau, Sam. After rescuing Polly from a plantation in Mississippi, Sunny and her friends are on their way to find sanctuary in Windsor, Canada. However, not everything goes according to plan. There is a $500 reward on Sunny's capture, and her former owner Horton has sent slave hunters after her. As Sunny and her friends use the Underground Railroad, they must navigate a murder, a steamboat explosion, and treachery on their way to freedom.

Meanwhile, Sam, a former US Army sergeant wanted for aiding and abetting a slave, has his own battles to fight. Will Sunny and her friends find their freedom?

The story takes a deeper look into the historical backdrop of America’s Antebellum period, blending rich historical detail with the poignant struggles of its characters. Dickie Erman constructs a world where the harsh realities of slavery are juxtaposed with the indomitable spirit of those who seek freedom, transporting the readers back in time, with meticulous attention to historical accuracy and detail.

Despite this being the third book in the series, The Adventures of Sunny Washington can easily be read as a stand-alone. It offers a glimpse into the horrors of slavery and the hardships encountered by those who sought to escape to freedom. The thought-provoking work also gets one thinking about the importance of people not being complicit in the sight of an injustice.
