Libertas

The first book in the Pocket Full of Seeds Trilogy follows Fredericka and Horace, runaway slaves, on their flight for freedom through nineteenth-century America and the Oregon Trail.

It was a time when runaway slaves were hunted, steamships sailed around the Horn to San Francisco, horse-tugged boats navigated the Erie Canal, a midnight tsunami struck Buffalo, Mormons sought a new Zion, and wagon trains lumbered across a continent littered with unmarked graves.

Most of all, this is a story driven by an unquenchable thirst for libertas.
