Sarah’s Journey, won the best fiction award for Hamilton and Region. This true story tells of Sarah Lewis, born a slave in Virginia, and her escape with three small children to Upper Canada in 1820. She arrives in Simcoe in 1822 and keeps house for a young Scotsman, by whom she has a son, who eventually becomes the richest man in New York City. The events of the time such as the rebellion of 1837 and the threats of bounty hunters affect the black community and Sarah’s family. “I would recommend this novel to mature readership at the high school level or above because of the increased degree of appreciation of the story if one is acquainted with the social and economic and political issues surrounding and shaping the environment into which Sarah was born.” —Grietje R. McBride, UE, B.Sc.. “Sarah's Journey is a real page-turner,”— Liana Metal, Rambles.
