| |  | | | In Brief
"On their way to arrange 18-year-old Atu's wedding in 1807, the young man and his father, Ajeemah, are captured by slave traders and shipped in chains from their African village to the sugar-cane plantations of Jamaica. They are separated--Ajeemah to work in a leather shop on one estate and Atu as a field hand on another. Ajeemah plots to rebel, but is betrayed. Atu commits suicide in despair when a horse that he has bought and cared for is taken from him. Ajeemah nearly goes mad with a vision of his son's death, until a Jamaican-born slave woman nurses him back to health. The two marry and survive to see their daughter marry in freedom. . . . Grade six and up." (SLJ)
| | | | From The Publisher
In 1807, at the height of the slave trade, Ajeemah and his son Atu are kidnapped by slave traders from their homeland in Africa. Their destiny is now the barbaric slave trade of the New World.
Upon arrival in Jamaica, father and son are separated and sold to neighboring plantations. Divided by only twenty miles, they will never see one another again. With all lost, even humanity, Ajeemah and his son must find a way to endure the harsh realities of their new life.
| | | | Annotation
A father and his eighteen-year-old son are each affected differently by their experiences as slaves in Jamaica in the early nineteenth century.
