Publisher's Synopsis
It is the mid-1700s, and a slave and his family plan to flee the brutal South and its cruel and inhumane system of slavery. They want a life free of chains, a life in which they can see their child grow up without fear.
He and his family make a daring escape, but danger awaits them in the wilderness. Will they make it to the North or be tracked down by the slave catcher and punished?
Von Sheppard had been haunted by dreams of the slave and his family, but he always woke up before he reached the end of the story.
Then Sheppard slowly realizes that he is the end of the story. He begins to understand that he may be an ex-college athlete, businessman, and educator, but he also lived a past life as a slave.
At this point, as Sheppard is at a spiritual epiphany, something amazing happens. He connects with a woman online and sees the beginning of not only a new relationship but a whole new way of living. Readers will be anxious to learn how Sheppard connects his past life to his present one and what his new love will think of his reincarnation.
