Publisher's Synopsis
Over the last four centuries, over 30,000,000 human beings have been tracked, captured, kidnapped, chained, thrown in holds of ships to be taken from their mother lands and sold as enslaved beast of burden so that someone else can sit back and reap the benefits of their labor. MaDea was such a person. She was hung in 1811 and lived to tell about it. Those who hung her didn't! This is her story. It is a rich saga that expands a century and travels through different nations of our planet. From the shores of the Ivory Coast, Africa to America's cotton plantations, all the way around the globe to England. Follow these multicultural families as they live, laugh, love and die on their journey to search for freedom.
