A run-away slave girl with a strong will to be free, a New Bedford whaling captain, a Native American, Lakota Sioux, shape each other's destinies in a powerful, moving and spiritual journey. Navigating a perilous escape through Civil War Virginia, Celia must come to terms with her own overwhelming fear, conflicting loyalties,... and a forbidden romance. But her future is not the only one changed by the choices she must make in her desperate quest for freedom.

Daisy's one dream was for her daughter to be free. Opportunity sets her risky plan into action
Heart-breaking circumstances change everything. A dangerous, grueling quest turns into a journey of enlightenment and a test of love.

Not just another Civil War novel! This is a book you won't want to put down, - a riveting, page-turner packed with action, emotion, romance and powerful characters!

A perilous sea voyage, a New Bedford whaling ship, Virginia's Dismal Swamp, and the war-ravaged South test the determination and willpower of two escaped slaves who struggle to overcome tribulation, conquer hardship and prevail in the face of adversity.

In the midst of the Civil War, runaway slaves Daisy Green and her daughter, Celia, attempt a nearly infallible but risky plan to escape from their Southern plantation and stow away on a sailing ship headed north. The cruelties of slavery that have broken Daisy's body have only reinforced her steadfast will to get her daughter to freedom. They will do whatever they must to be free.

Mother and daughter are soon separated, and everything changes. Help and danger come from unexpected places. Although their strong bond endures, their hearts are torn by desperation, sorrow, and fear. Faith in God's divine guidance, and in each other, gives them strength to persevere in their courageous struggle to find liberty and happiness.

Emotional, fast-paced, exciting, and compelling, their journeys take them to heights of happiness and plunge them to depths of despair - and back again. Their incredible search for freedom becomes a fight for life and a test of love.

About the Author

Dana Vacca retired from teaching and now spends most of her time writing short stories, poetry and novellas, and restoring and selling antiques. She says unraveling the story of an intriguing antique piece is like time-traveling back to another era. Researching an old heirloom brings history to life. It feeds and inspires her writing as her imagination takes over and fills in the blanks.

Having been born in the North, but living almost half her life in the South, she always found the people of the Civil War era a fascinating subject to explore. That time, packed with emotional, social and economic upheaval, is complicated to understand and its impact still influences the American present.

Dana Vacca holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design and a Masters of Fine Arts degree from Vermont College. She taught visual media and design at the college level. She has illustrated children's books but equally loves to paint with words to create exciting adventure, vivid imagery and compelling characters in her creative writing and fictional works.

She is now living again in coastal New England with two dogs who are her faithful companions and biggest fans.
