Chasing Freedom

About the Book

This adventure story is about an African-American pioneer who experienced hardships in a strange, new “Promised Land” while searching for America’s soul. It is a love story about a man and his race who gave up American only to rediscover it and eventually reclaim it. It is an epic of human strength and colorless passion, capturing the “Black Fever” that gripped our nation in the early 1800’s …and is still echoed in the debate over immigration today.
