Book Description:
Set during the era of American slavery, James reimagines the character from Huckleberry Finn as he escapes to avoid being sold and to find his wife and daughter. Moving through the same river journey Twain made famous, this time we see the story through James’s eyes—where success depends not just on physical escape, but on the careful performance of ignorance to survive in a world determined to deny his humanity. The novel transforms a familiar American classic into a deeply human story about voice, agency, and what freedom truly costs.
