An Ex-Slave Catcher's Narrative

By L Allen Farmer

Book Overview

Torn from his homeland on the island of La Hispaniola and thrust into the brutal heart of American slavery, Balaam Calais-Vega's journey is one of resilience, rebellion, and an unbreakable will to be free. This sweeping memoir unearths the harrowing yet inspiring saga of the Calais-Vega family-a lineage forged in defiance, bound by love, and tested by betrayal.

From the sun-scorched plantations of the South to the shadowy corners of the Underground Railroad, Balaam's odyssey is marked by unyielding friendships, fateful choices, and the ever-present dream of liberation. As he navigates a world built to keep him in chains, he discovers that freedom is not just a place-it's a battle waged in the soul.

A raw, suspenseful, and deeply moving account, An Ex-Slave Catcher's Narrative is a testament to the enduring power of hope, the complexities of loyalty, and the cost of betrayal. This is more than history-it's the untold story of those who dared to break free.
