The latest release from the author of Darkness: A Slave's Story, Doris: Return to the Slave Farm, and The Lilac Nurse!

You have no idea who you're dealin' with here. He wasn't just a slave for a few years; he was a slave most of his life. We don't even know half his story.

George Ambrose 'Sailor' Washington wasn't released from slavery on January 1, 1863, as were most other slaves in the United States. He spent many more years in involuntary servitude. The Slave is historical fiction about the Works Progress Administration's attempt to interview all remaining former slaves across the southern states. John Burrows is a young college graduate out to make a name for himself by interviewing Sailor, who is 110 years old. With persistent pressure from his two great-granddaughters, John and Sailor come to terms with Sailor's amazing life. Along the way, something happens between John and Julia, the beautiful great-granddaughter. Both learn about how the other half truly lives, and John's education and outlook on his dark-skinned counterparts is changed forever. A love grows between John and Julia that cannot be stopped by the anti-miscegenation laws of Depression-era Missouri. A must read.
