Emancipation Stories

One day, I realised that I would never fit in. Then I decided to write to the paper that listens to me and will always be here for me. The cover of the book is the place where I dream of going to live. I hope my poem will touch you and that you will enjoy it, too. Dad, you've inspired most of them;

Mississippi, 1848. Tom is enslaved, invisible, and forgotten. Then a meteor falls from the sky - and changes everything. Every Friday, for exactly eight hours, Tom transforms into a white man. Assuming the identity of the wealthy and mysterious Colonel Thomas Ashford, he wages a secret war against slavery - buying freedom, forging documents, and outwitting the most powerful men in the South. But enemies close in from every direction. Eight hours of power. A lifetime of courage. And a love that refused to care what face it wore. The Eight Hours - where identity is a disguise, freedom is a Friday, and the soul is the only thing that was ever real. Meet the cast: - Tom - enslaved genius, secret liberator, man of faith - Abigail Bellamy - the plantation owner's daughter who loves him in both his faces - Old Moses - the wise elder who sees everything - Elijah - the fearless comedian who makes danger look easy - Big Samuel - gentle giant, unbreakable protector - Sarah - the quiet strategist who outthinks everyone - Ezekiel - the literate blacksmith who becomes Jonas Creed, master of disguise - Titus Walker - the betrayer from within whose jealousy costs lives - Silas Beaumont - the ruthless slave trader hunting the Colonel's true identity - Sheriff Hiram Tolbert - the relentless lawman who never stops pursuing

(Authorized excerpt of EMANCIPATED by M.G. Reyes published by Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of Harper Collins.) The bad boy, the good girl, the diva, the hustler, the rocker, and the nerd. Six teens legally liberated from parental control for six different reasons, but all with one thing in common: something to hide. Secret #1: Not everyone is who they seem. Now they're sharing a house in Venice Beach, acting like a family, and living their lies. One witnessed a crime, another might be a murderer-and one's been spying on them all. Secret #2: Freedom isn't free. As they cling to a fantasy of freedom and slowly let down their guard, the past creeps up on them. And when one of them gets arrested, everyone's carefully constructed facade comes crumbling down. Secret #3: The truth will come out. Emancipated is the first book in a blistering guessing game of a series where relationships are tested and worlds collide.
