Neil Goldman is a struggling author who goes to a second hand store for cheap entertainment and maybe a bit of inspiration. At the Second Chance he finds "the sweetest piece of inspiration one could ever hope to find," an old briefcase. Imagining the many places the old satchel has been and the stories it could tell, Neil takes his prize home and goes into wild speculation only to find that it's Satchel who has chosen Neil to write his story. Follow this epic tale of romance, adventure, and struggle as the great slave Cobb tries to escape his slavery to find freedom and his scattered and sold family. Follow the march of time through the Civil War and the golden age of invention. Fly with Satchel and Cobb's grandson into a world war, where Satchel finds his own enslavement. Satchel eventually lands in the hands of a simple child who teaches him more than most of the great and powerful men of Satchel's history.
