The Grace in Africa series is a sweeping
three-part historical saga of slavery and freedom that
takes the reader from an island off the west coast of Africa
to Southern plantations and finally on to Canada. All her
life, Grace Winslow, the daughter of a mixed marriage
between an English sea captain and an African princess, has
been sheltered from the truth about the family
business--the capture and trade of slaves.
Set in 1787 in West Africa, The Call of
Zulina opens as the scorching harmattan winds
blow. Desperate to avoid marriage to an odious
suitor, Grace escapes the family compound only to
be caught up in a slave revolt at the fortress of
Zulina. Soon, she begins to grasp the brutality and ferocity
of the family business. Held for ransom, viciously maimed by
a runaway slave, and threatened with death, Grace is finally
jerked into reality and comes to sympathize with
the plight of the captives. She admires their strength
and courage and is genuinely moved by the African
Cabeto’s passion, determination, and willingness to
sacrifice anything, including his own life, for his people’s
freedom.
