Peter Hunt and his family were slaves, owned by his White father.

Ironically, his Mother's name was America, and they lived on a plantation in a town named Liberty.

Peter, through the author, tells his own story of being a slave, a Freedman, solider and a landowner while living in terroristic Mississippi.

The author chose the style of the 1930's Work's Project Administration (WPA) format of slave narratives/interviews.

Blended in the story are the political, cultural, economic and world views during American slavery, and extensive research of oral family history, documents, family pictures, historical timelines, and DNA.

This story is a must read for teens and young adults regarding Black and White families during American slavery.

Many will come to understand that life isn't always what it appears or is said to be.
