GLENVIEW, Ill., May 20, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Kathleen Olson, a wife, mother, and grandmother who lives in northeast Illinois with her husband, Tom, and their cats, Goober and Piper, has completed her new audiobook, "Come Run With Me": an engrossing narrative about two young girls' flight to Canada in the years of the Antebellum.
Olson writes, "Polly was used to people coming and going at her house at all times of the night because her family ran an Underground Railroad station. Strangely, tonight there was more noise than usual, and Mother said noise was the enemy. That night in June 1957, Mother called urgently for Polly to get down to the secret room and bring water with her.
"When Polly was able to get the heavy sloshing bucket down the narrow stairs, she saw Mother kneeling by a young girl who was about Polly's age. Her name was Hattie, and her forehead was beaded with sweat, and she was shaking uncontrollably.
"Polly knew they would be friends with all the dangers and adventures that go with running the Underground Railroad."

Audiobooks are the fastest-growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook. This huge growth can be partly attributed to increased listening in cars, which surpassed the home as the #1 audiobook-listening location in the 2019 survey.
