Life in 1860s North Carolina for a 16-year-old boy was hell on earth. The heat, labor, brutal beatings, and shame broke the will of the strongest men. Yet, Noah responded to any of the torment in kind.
Overseers tried scolding Noah, the Master and his sons tried whipping Noah, his fellow slaves avoided him, fearful they would get in trouble with him. The only one who could get through to Noah was Jeremiah. A man late in life, once known as the assassin mentore, Ibubesi.
Overseers tried scolding Noah, the Master and his sons tried whipping Noah, his fellow slaves avoided him, fearful they would get in trouble with him. The only one who could get through to Noah was Jeremiah. A man late in life, once known as the assassin mentore, Ibubesi.
Noah only responded to Ibubesi's teachings. Keeping the boy alive but never out of trouble. That ain't matter, Noah Slick Thomas, would disappear under moonlight when everyone slept. Sneaking off to the treetops or barn to read, look at maps, and plot his escape. His friends were relying on Noah as their ticket to freedom.
Freedom was Noah's... until his friend was murdered by an overseer and Noah tries to take the overseer's life. Leaving Noah with the ultimatum to give up his rebellious rage and become an overseer, or to watch all his family and friends be punished because of him.
Noah can run away scared or put all Ibubesi has taught him to avenge his best friend's murder. Is this another sad slavery story, or a story of a young man overcoming against all odds? Find out.
