Product Description
Taking readers from an island off the west coast of Africa to sprawling southern plantations and finally on to Canada, the Grace in Africa series is a sweeping three part historical saga of slavery and freedom. All her life, Grace Winslow, the daughter of a mixed marriage between an English sea captain and an African princess, has been sheltered from the truth about the family business - the capture and trade of slaves. In Book 2, slavers burst into Grace Winslow's life with guns blazing and tear her family apart forever. She watches in anguish as her husband is led in chains aboard a tightly packed slave ship bound for America. An old enemy has a more sinister plan for Grace and prepares her for a different kind of servitude in London. But Grace will not be enslaved. And she will not give up on the man she loves. In her determination to be reunited with her husband, she finds God reaching out to her.

The Voyage of Promise
The first book finished on such an upbeat, that it is distressing to find that Grace and her fellow captives freed from the Zulina slave fortress have been overwhelmed and captured again.
It is five years later, 1792, and the opening chapter paints a picture of a happy community; Grace and Cabeto have a little boy and all seems peaceful until in the night the slave trader’s African warriors attack the village and horrific scenes ensue. Scenes that I found hard to read, but knew I had to. This may be fiction, but what is described must have really happened time and time again.
The description of the families torn apart, the ships being overloaded, the treatment of these men and women has all been documented elsewhere, but reading this story brings it all harrowingly alive.
Torn from her child and her husband, Grace is carried off to England and this is the story of the voyage and what happens to her in London.
Will she ever see Cabeto again? The third in the trilogy is called The Triumph of Grace so there is still hope.
