By Tamera Lynn Kraft
In 1857, America, the daughter of a slave owner, is an abolitionist and a student at Oberlin College, a school known for its radical ideas. When America goes home to Kentucky during school break to confront her father about freeing his slaves, America’s classmate, William, tags along to preach abolition to churches that condone slavery. Soon, though, America and William find themselves in the center of the approaching storm sweeping the nation. Will they make it back to Ohio . . . or even live through the struggle?
ISLAND BREEZES
It’s easy for America to be an abolitionist at Oberlin College. Not so easy when she’s home in Kentucky. Especially when she tries to confront her father who is planning on selling one of his slaves.
America’s friend, William, also goes to Kentucky on their spring break. His plans are to preach against the evils of slavery. Both he and America find themselves in life threatening positions.
This story will touch your heart as it brings you into some real life situations in the dark history of our country.
Ms Kraft is a new-to-me author. I appreciate the research she’s done for this book. I learned about some of Oberlin’s history here, and am looking forward to Book Two of Ladies of Oberlin.
Thank you, Ms Kraft.
