Book Overview

by Lucia Mann (Author)

The grief of the newly captured slaves was overpowered only by the lecherous brutality of their master.
From a humble Tswanas kraal to an opulent South African estate, you will be captivated by Lucia Mann's interweaving stories of loss, cruelty, courage, and hope.

This multigenerational tale takes one on a journey that starts with an encircling rope net; progresses to a filthy, stifling slave ship; and ends at a rich slave estate where unthinkable acts take place. The thorny history of the birthplace of slavery comes to life with unforgettable characters yearning for liberty, meaning, and ... justice!
