Escape to Adulthood: From Slavery to Empire

📖 Escape to Adulthood: The Journey from Slavery to Empire

In the shadow of America’s Reconstruction era, two young Black children make a desperate choice: to escape the homes that confine them and carve out a future of their own. Forced into adulthood far too soon, they cling to each other through hunger, danger, and heartbreak.

What begins as a struggle for survival blossoms into a powerful love story. Together, they endure unthinkable hardships, defy the limits placed upon them, and build not only a family—but the foundation of an empire.

Escape to Adulthood: The Journey from Slavery to Empire is a sweeping saga of resilience, courage, and hope. It is the story of how ordinary people, bound by love and unyielding determination, rose from oppression to create a legacy that would outlast generations.
