Expectant World Away

By Vance Alexander

In late September of 1801, two men, newly free, yet shadowed by the past, board the sailing ship Minerva, bound for London and the fragile promise of reinvention. Jared Browne, the light-skinned son of a mixed-race slave and a wealthy Connecticut plantation owner, has lived between identities all his life. Gifted as a botanical artist, his talent offers him passage into a world otherwise denied. In England, he may at last live as he appears--unburdened by the truth that has long defined him.
