Here's a little bit about When God Gives Us Spring.
Michael Custis Washington is a young black slave living on a cotton plantation in the Province of Virginia. He was born in 1802. Left an orphan at the age of five he is taken into the big house by his master, Alfred Gordon, to be trained as a house servant. While in this house he suffers severe emotional and sexual abuse. When he finally runs away with his wife Lucinda he is helped by the Quakers. Through the Underground Railway they reach the Elgin Settlement in Ontario, Canada. Freedom is his at last. But when the American Civil War breaks out in 1861 Michael chooses to join the Union Army. He works his way back to Virginia. Is he seeking justice or vengeance?
Michael is the main character but this historical fiction novella is home to many diverse and wonderful characters. With his incredible talent, Earl Sewell, brings them all alive. I feel
blessed to be working with him on this exciting project.
With his permission, let me introduce my reading friends to multi-talented, Earl Sewell.
