A Historical Novel That Will Haunt You

In The Shadow Of Liberty is a gripping historical novel that explores the complexities of freedom and justice in the American South. Set in the years leading up to the Civil War, the novel tells the story of two families—one white, one black—whose lives are intertwined in the struggle for equality.

The white family is the wealthy plantation-owning family of Colonel John Thornton. Colonel Thornton is a proud and honorable man, but he is also a slave owner. He believes that slavery is a necessary evil, but he treats his slaves with kindness and compassion.

The black family is the family of freedman Robert Jackson. Robert is a skilled carpenter and a loving father. He has worked hard to build a good life for his family, but he knows that he is still not truly free. He is constantly reminded of his former status as a slave, and he fears that his children will face the same discrimination.

The lives of the two families become intertwined when Colonel Thornton's son, John Jr., falls in love with Robert's daughter, Sarah. Their love is forbidden, but they are determined to be together. Their relationship will challenge the beliefs of both families and will ultimately lead to tragedy.

In The Shadow Of Liberty is a powerful and moving story about the struggle for freedom and justice. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
