The Price of Freedom

As African-Americans, we have a rich history of which the half has never been told. PASSION'S FURIES by AlTonya Washington, a work of fiction on the manipulations of blacks, the class system, slavery, romance, and mulatto's vs. "real" blacks touched my soul and brought tears to my eyes.

Spoiled, rich and the only child of a free black man, Jacinta McIver, has a wonderful life in Charleston, South Carolina the core of slavery in the 1800's. Defying her father at every turn, nineteen-year-old Jacinta, wants to change the way blacks are treated, not to mention her distrust of men, especially mulatto men. Solomon Dikembe, a handsome mulatto who embraces his black heritage, only want what's best for both sides of his heritage. Hated by all, Solomon has an astute business sense, owning land from Michigan to South Carolina.

PASSION'S FURIES embodied, in 304 pages, the achievements, conflicts, love, happiness and passion we as African-Americans continually disseminate toward one another some 200 years later. Fear, romance, and history will keep you turning the pages. If this is your first read by AlTonya, please, check out her website and read her other works. You will not be disappointed.
