Description

Powerful moving and redemptive RIVER SING ME HOME tells of a mothers desperate search to find her stolen children and her freedom

We whisper the names of the ones we love like the words of a song That was the taste of freedom to us those names on our lips

Mary Grace Micah Thomas Augustus Cherry Jane and Mercy

These are the names of her children The five who survived only to be sold to other plantations The faces Rachel cannot forget

Its 1834 and the law says her people are now free But for Rachel freedom means finding her children even if the truth is more than she can bear

With fear snapping at her heels Rachel keeps moving From sunrise to sunset through the cane fields of Barbados to the forests of British Guiana and on to Trinidad to the dangerous river and the open sea

Only once she knows their stories can she rest

Only then can she finally find home
