IN THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME... OF THE SLAVES When curiosity for the forbidden gets the better of him, Steven Walsh, an abolitionist living in a slave state, purchases a slave, John. A highly submissive slave who prizes protocol, obedience and strict adherence to rules, John's raison d'?tre is to be the perfect slave. Steven, wants to elevate John to an equal social standing and be friends. Chaos ensues and John must guide his reluctant Master toward dominance. Steven's fiancee is outraged at his impulsive purchase, until she discovers the advantages of owning a gorgeous man whose only desire is to please. Meanwhile, theater owner, Frederick Hespenheide, attends the same state slave auction for the tenth year, searching for uniqueness among the well trained and docile slaves. He finds Aaron, whose individuality and attention seeking behaviors have been rewarded only with punishment. Aaron is thrilled to discover the pageantry of the theater. He takes instantly to his new home. While his Master fights his growing attraction to his slave, Aaron's lack of boundaries makes this increasingly difficult. The Sale is a dystopian, alternative history set in an America that still operates under The Articles of Confederation. The states have evolved independently and some embrace slavery, while others do not. Political battles are waged over unification, and the ramifications to slavery if the Federalists have their way.
