What if every African American-free and enslaved-had been forced by law to leave the United States in 1816?
Repatriated: Re-Roots reimagines that world with unflinching emotional depth. Drawing from the real American Colonization Society and the early founding of Liberia, this novel follows one fractured family as they are swept into a global experiment that reshapes history.
Josiah Freeman has three days to reach Savannah before the repatriation ships depart. His wife, Mercy, has survived horrors he can barely speak of. Their children-Elijah, Clara, and baby Silas-carry wounds of their own. Together, they must outrun patrols, storms, and the machinery of a nation eager to erase them.
Across the ocean waits a land they have never seen... and a future they never asked for.
