Written by Walter Dean Myers
A family's journey from enslavement to freedom, bound by history and love.
Follow a family's poignant journey from their ancestor's capture in Africa to their enduring struggle for identity and freedom in America. Despite the remnants of shackles, they find strength in pride, determination, and love. As they navigate the challenges of their past and present, the land they call home becomes a symbol of their resilience and unity. What binds them together, and what will it take to truly break free?
An exciting, eye-catching repackage of acclaimed author Walter Dean Myers’ bestselling paperbacks, to coincide with the publication of SUNRISE OVER FALLUJA in hardcover.”Those shackles didn’t rob us of being black, son, they robbed us of being human.”This is the story of one family. A family whose history saw its first ancestor captured, shackled, and brought to this country from Africa. A family who can still see remnants of the shackles that held some of its members captive – even today. It is a story of pride, determination, struggle, and love. And of the piece of the land that holds them together throughout it all.
