I read this book in one day Entire. I could not put it down. I came across it while trying to learn more about my town. I was in awe after Realizing did all this occured some 15 miles from where I now live. I believe this book would make an excellent movie. The way this free black man which taken and sold into salvery is so sad and if I had not been looking into old new paper articles around the area I would not have Believed this story. So many people want to forget about the history of black people But They Should not. I do not think anyone can walk away after reading this book and not feel some sort of compassion for the all the souls lost to slavery.
