John and Adele have been together for over two decades and have a son. Their relationship has been on a downhill trajectory for many years. One evening, en route to their annual holiday destination, they run out of fuel in a remote location. To whom can they go for assistance? Suddenly, in the darkness, their lives take an unexpected turn. They meet three mysterious but benevolent strangers who offer to help them. In observing Adele and John, they pose to the couple an unusual challenge that seeks to address the core problems in their marriage. John and Adele find the proposal odd but intriguing. While it may have advantages, it could be risky and dangerous. But unresolved emotions and unhealed wounds, as well as long-buried memories can also have hazardous and unpredictable consequences. Will they dare to accept this challenge or not? This unique novel, while aimed at taking a fresh perspective on relationships, is uplifting, relaxing, and is meant to be enjoyed.
Stolen from his homeland, Zaccheus, now a designated slave, is captured on the high seas in 1808, a year after the abolition of the slave trade in Britain and begins a new life in Freetown, a Province of Freedom. He works hard and forges a decent life for himself, despite the expectation that the recaptives should assimilate a new way of life without any regard for what they believed in and held dear. He rises to become the trusted assistant of the village superintendent, but this is not well received by all members of the village community... Set against the backdrop of the historical background of the time, this is the story of the growth of Freetown and surrounding villages, his and others' struggles, under the control of the Administration.
