Sold: Bound by Chains, Freed by Courage: A Novel - Paperback

by Christine Johnson McPhail (Author)

Ghana, 1847. The brutal transatlantic slave trade has reached a devastating peak. Amid the chaos and heartbreak of the Gold Coast, thousands are seized, branded, and sent across treacherous seas. While stories of the brutality on the Middle Passage have been told, the voices of those left behind--the families who lost fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters to this trade--remain largely silent. But the story of Adwino, a revered Ashanti warrior, speaks of a different journey--one of courage, love, and defiance.

When Adwino's son, Adolpho, is captured by slave traders, he vows to cross oceans, face death, and reclaim his stolen family. As he navigates the horrors of slavery in America, he remains fueled by the unyielding spirit of his ancestors and the fierce love of a father. No enemy, no chain, no sea can hold back Adwino's resolve to restore his son's freedom.

Sold is a powerful tale of resilience, love, and defiance set against one of history's darkest chapters. It's a story of a father's unrelenting fight to reunite with his son, proving that no chain, no sea, and no cruelty can extinguish the enduring power of a father's love.
