Her search begins with an ending.…
The master of the Providence plantation in Barbados
gathers his slaves and announces the king has decreed an end
to slavery. As of the following day, the Emancipation Act of
1834 will come into effect. The cries of joy fall silent
when he announces that they are no longer his slaves; they
are now his apprentices. No one can leave. They must work
for him for another six years. Freedom is just another name
for the life they have always lived. So Rachel runs.
Away from Providence, she begins a desperate
search to find her children—the five who survived
birth and were sold. Are any of them still alive? Rachel has
to know. The grueling, dangerous journey takes her from
Barbados then, by river, deep into the forest of British
Guiana and finally across the sea to Trinidad. She is driven
on by the certainty that a mother cannot be truly free
without knowing what has become of her children, even if the
answer is more than she can bear. These are the stories of
Mary Grace, Micah, Thomas Augustus, Cherry Jane and Mercy.
But above all this is the story of Rachel and the
extraordinary lengths to which a mother will go to find her
children...and her freedom.
