She eventually reunites with her mother Cassy, and is sheltered by Simeon and Rachel Halliday. This character is pursued by Marks and Tom Loker, who is pushed off a cliff by her husband, George. She runs away after learning that Mr. Haley has purchased her son Harry from George Shelby. For 10 points, name this slave who escapes to freedom across the frozen Ohio River in Uncle Tom's Cabin.
