Family blooded by war.
The choice was to run for freedom or die never
having been valued as a human -- as a woman.
The penalty was the same -- death!
Freedom and her brother, Triumph, would fight
for their lives and the lives of the ones whom
they loved no matter the cost. Escaping bondage
meant they must RUN! Run to Moses. Run to the
Promised Land.
Watson Brown knew all too well the struggle
to survive. The fight to live. He had been given a
second chance to do what he had failed to do in
life -- as a human. What he and his father could
not do before the Harpers Ferry Raid.
The runaway slave and her brother were a
distraction.
He could afford no interferences with his
mission. He nor his family could risk exposure.
Nothing could tear them apart.
Sojourner knew how to run, hide and fight.
She would find her family and reunite them. Her
mother’s secrets had become a gift. A gift that would
aide her on her journey.
Oliver had been held prisoner by Frederick,
his brother, for a year. Escape meant hurting an
innocent, a beautiful woman who he could not
forget. He would not stop searching the colonies for
her, until he found her. Debts owed would be paid.
Will Sojourner and Oliver learn from the past
and return to where it began to get the answers they
sought? Will they be able to let go of the past to
claim their future?
