Named one of NPR's Books We Love It’s finally time for Charles Ignatius Sancho to tell his story, one that begins on a slave ship in the Atlantic and ends at the very center of London life. . . . A lush and immersive tale of adventure, artistry, romance, and freedom set in eighteenth-century England and based on a true story It’s 1746 and Georgian London is not a safe place for a young Black man. Charles Ignatius Sancho must dodge slave catchers and worse, and his main ally—a kindly duke who taught him to write—is dying. Sancho is desperate and utterly alone. So how does the same Charles Ignatius Sancho meet the king, write and play highly acclaimed music, become the first Black person to vote in Britain, and lead the fight to end slavery? Through every moment of this rich, exuberant tale, Sancho forges ahead to see how much he can achieve in one short life: “I had little right to live, born on a slave ship where my parents both died. But I survived, and indeed, you might say I did more.”

The title of this book, Climbing Out of a Joseph's Hole, was given to me by God in the early stages of my divorce. God assured me at that time that he would bring me out better, wiser, and stronger than I could ever imagine. I even wrote down the date at that time with a written vision saying, "My family is now broken up, my car has been reposed, and my house is in foreclosure. But by the time I would have finished writing this book, God would have restored everything that I have lost and blessed me with more." Well, here I am now over twenty years later with over twice as much as I had before. So God wants me to tell those who are going through a divorce that they can recover from divorce and come out more powerful, more experienced, and wiser than they ever could ever imagine themselves to be. And the most important of all is that they can have a closer and more intimate relationship with the Almighty God.
