Venus’ Story – A Story of One Slave’s Survival, is an African American historical novel set in Virginia 1858. Venus’ trials and tribulations are both entertaining and frightening, as she’s sold from one plantation owner to the next, some kind and some cruel. The lives of two other slaves, separate but intertwined, unfold through the Underground Railroad, and the Christian abolitionists who risk their own lives to help others to freedom.

Both educational and enlightening, Venus’ Story captures the stark realities of slavery and the relentless pursuit to end this atrocious chapter in our Nation’s history.
