A mesmerizing historical novel richly detailing the life of the most influential African American of the 19th century and the Civil War era that brought him to prominence "A magisterial work about the life of an extraordinary and passionate hero of American history . . . Required reading!" --Margaret George, New York Times bestselling author of The Splendor Before the Dark Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass did what seemed impossible: he escaped, reinvented himself, and rose to become one of the most powerful voices in American history--a fierce abolitionist, gifted orator, founder of The North Star, and collaborator with Abraham Lincoln, William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, and Susan B. Anthony in ending slavery and shaping U.S. democracy itself. But in this singular work of historical fiction, Sidney Morrison is able to move beyond the legend to explore the full complexity of Douglass's interior life: the loves he protected, the choices he made, the costs paid for his greatness. Anna Murray Douglass, the wife instrumental to his escape. Julia Griffith, the British abolitionist whose closeness sparked scandal. Ottilie Assing, the German journalist who died by suicide after Douglass married another woman. Here is Douglass as history has never quite shown him: a towering public figure and a deeply complex private man, whose life was rich in conflict, consequence, and humanity.
