Book Overview

Dido Elizabeth Belle was born in 1761. It would be nearly 100 years before slavery was abolished. The date would be of little importance if not for one important factor: Belle's father was white, but her mother was African. It was an unthinkable act for the time, and Belle's life was destined for only bad things. But remarkably bad things did not happen.

Belle was sent to live with her uncle, the Earl of Mansfield; here she was raised as a free woman and given the same privileged upbringing as her cousins. This book tells the inspiring true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, and how the life of a woman most people have never heard helped pave the way for future change.

He dreamed of being a screenwriter but spent his non-dreaming time having adventures in the Corps with his friends, his wife and their three children. Cary has also worked as a background actor in several movie and TV shows and a security supervisor at celebrity events such as the Oscars, the Emmy's, Soul Train and MTV Award shows.

Fergus Mason was born in southwest Scotland and went to university in Glasgow. After graduating he joined the British Army and served in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo and Iraq. Looking for something new after 14 years he somehow ended up in Afghanistan as a civilian contractor, which was pretty much like being in the Army but with better food. Finally he decided to become a freelance writer, as he has always enjoyed writing as a hobby. Fergus lives in Germany with an annoying cat.
