5-star Amazon, Bookbub & Goodreads reviews
"a must-read page turner"
"Extraordinary book about Langston's life as one of America's first black lawyers and his fight for blacks to gain equality and freedom. One of the most influential men of his time but today known by few."
"The book's extraordinary attention to detail and depth of character development had me completely immersed in the story. If you enjoy history but want to experience it first-hand, this is an experience that will delight and intrigue you."
"An important and entertaining story about the first African American to hold elective office, showing how determination can override never-ending obstacles. Also highlights the untiring work of the abolitionists in fighting the racial challenges of the decades before the Civil War"
"Fascinating read of the mid-1800s American life as told through the lens of a black man.".
Övrig information
From when Robyn R. Pearce was a child in New Zealand, the stories of early settlers romanced her. Then, older family members started sharing letters and journals of intrepid ancestors who'd up and left their homes to go to new lands, many of them fleeing from turbulent, and sometimes terrible, situations. They all had one common theme; they trod perilous paths in search of a better life. The Freedom Series weaves these tales with the events and famous people of the times.Before Robyn began writing historical fiction, putting her ancestors' stories into exciting fiction, she had a long and successful career as an international time management and productivity specialist, with eight books on the topic.
