Volume 2 in the JOURNEY series finds James in exile in Canada after fleeing slave hunters who raided the family farm. It's five years before he is able to see his farm again, and the fight for freedom and simple dignity goes on without respite. As the Civil War looms ever closer, the stream of freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad becomes a raging flood.
Will the Woodman family farm, the center of their universe, survive? Will the family itself survive the coming storm that threatens to consume all? Volume 2 opens in 1856 and closes in 1865, a very important time in the life of the young country that promised so much but didn't always deliver.
Carefully researched and accurate historical fiction that deals with issues straight from today's headlines, like freedom, dignity and being able to exercise basic Constitutional rights. These things were denied African Americans whether enslaved or free born as James was. The people of the mid-19th century had to fight for these rights supposedly enshrined in law, and that fight continues to this day, sadly.
