“A fabulous and sobering historical novel about slavery in American and how the British engaged slaves during the Revolution to work for them, promising freedom and land in Canada. Needless to say, that didn't work out very well. The story is told by a woman survivor of the ordeal who ended up as the face of slavery for the English slave abolitionists, leading to the end of English slave trade. A must read!”

It was an eye opener to all the terrible sagas and events of slaves from 1750's - 1800. ”
