Field to Freedom: The James Wenham Story

By Lynne Bliss

Field to Freedom follows James Wenham and his wife, Philadelphia, as they struggle against the rising tide of hardship in 1830s Warbleton, Sussex, England. A devastating family tragedy leaves them reeling, brought on by the Swing Riots-laborers torching threshing machines and demanding justice. With rising tithes and crushing taxes threatening their modest farm, James and Philadelphia yearn for more than mere survival: they seek freedom, and the chance to shape their own future. Set against the backdrop of rural rebellion and social upheaval, this evocative tale explores the cost of endurance and the quiet courage it takes to break free.
