Publisher's Synopsis
Tragedy turns to freedom and redemption. One fright-filled night, the peaceful villagers of seaside Parsui in Africa are torn from their way of life. They are forced to board a slave ship bound for an unknown land called America, where they are to be sold like cattle. The slave boat captain and crew soon discover they underestimated the ingenuity of their captives. A forced landing on a tropical island creates a new and challenging set of circumstances for everyone involved. How can they all live together and survive-much less thrive? Author Doris Johnson displays her characteristic deep understanding of the challenges posed by the human condition as well as the courage, tenacity, and creativity of which people are capable.
