Historical
In seventeenth-century Dublin, Ireland, pre-teen Callum
McCarthy is shipped to the English Colonies where he will
endure horrors of the Irish slave trade. Intense and
powerful, JR Thompson’s Brutalized explores ideas of
greed, loneliness and despair, determination, and faith.
Growing up in an area where poor Irish families are as
welcome as malaria, Callum, the son of a drunkard father and
neglectful mother, already has the odds stacked against him.
But when the boy is kidnapped from his own home, he’s
plunged into a living nightmare.
Upon arrival in America, a cruel man by the name of
Josiah Gillcrest makes Callum his ill-treated workhorse.
Bone-chilling secrets Callum uncovers on the tobacco
plantation force him to make difficult decisions. Should he
make a run for it? Kill the wicked overseer, who happens to
be his master’s son? Lead a slave uprising? The
possibilities are endless.
Mystery, brutality, and deep, dirty secrets saturate
Brutalized as Thompson shares truths of white slavery from
Ireland and Germany to Colonial America. Callum’s
detective skills could prove useful in bringing crucial
changes to the plantation if they don’t kill him
first.
Early readers have characterized Brutalized as
“gripping,” “intriguing,” and as
“a story that needs to be told.”
