The year is 1835 and Delia is a nineteen year old slave to the cruel and cold-hearted, Elliot Bradford, of the Bradford plantation in Charlestown, South Carolina. 

Delia was born on the Bradford plantation and ever since she was a baby, she's been groomed to serve the master, and his family. 

Eventually, Delia grew tired of the slave life and wants to start a new without serving someone else. 

But what happens when the master begins to grow obsessive, lustful feelings for her and Delia begins to fall in love with another slave. 

Will the two runaway together and be free or will the master ruin everything they have planned because of his desires?

This book follows an African American boy as he wonders over into the white community something not usually done. Considering that during the year 1830's New York was severely divided into pocket communities helping keep the oppressed oppressed, since they would live in cramped apartment buildings with other families while the rich lived in manors. While the immigrants worked in factories the rich turned towards investments. Matthews~ (African American) 6 years old and on the street. I watch the other children get handed bread. I watch them get taken into the homes made for children like us. My clothes are tattered and torn. I go to bed underneath boxes or in garbage cans to stay warm. Annabelle~ 20 years old, the daughter of a noble getting ready for another social event. I walk with the other women who are ahead of me. They are giggling and talking about the recent engagements, the recent social gatherings, the recent investments that potential suitors have made, yet I am simply not interested. I would rather get a job. I want to get down and dirty. Daniel~ 21 years old, a nobleman that owns quite a few acres of land for farming. Father finally died. Leaving the estate to me. I will now be able to rent out the land instead of having father put outrageous buying prices on the damn property. No one can afford them in today's day in age. Not to mention that once the property is divided up into the sectors with their own little cottages we could have our own little self-sufficient economy if I play my cards right. No, my father ever the man he was decided it was too much of a risk. Well you can roll over in your grave. I never did like him. *Warning: There may be some harsh scenes while Matthews are on the streets, and scenes that deal with death. Please be aware of this as you read. # in Historical Fiction as of: 931~ 7/14/17 302~ 7/22/17 288~ 7/24/17

Ehi stood still as rage filled her, God has granted her a second chance and she would damn her soul to the very depths of hell if she didn't use it right. "I am ready",she stated. The duchess smirked as she walked out of the room,nodding at the guard to announce Ehi's arrival. Here comes the celebrant of this glorious night,the butler announced, "LADY EHI MCNIGHTTON OF WILLSHIRE,niece and heir to the DUCHESS OF WILLSHIRE!!!" The giant doors opened wide,bright lights seeping from the ball room,shining directly on her as everyone stood still. Her eyes void of all emotions,a stiff smile on her lips,she walked slowly into her new chapter. Captured from a small village in the times when slave trade thrived in Africa.Enslaved in a new country,Ehi has to learn love and survival in the most gruesome way. When she didn't think life could throw anymore surprises,a certain Duke crossed her path. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE~~~~~~~~~~ A little history never hurts anyone right?? This book is 70% fiction,the other 30% are well known historical events and facts. I love how i was able to put together everything I love about literature into this book. I love the historical feel it has to it,the romance and how shows a glimpse of my beautiful maternal culture. It's mostly about the history on the slavery of the Edo people in Nigeria during the colonial times. Basically this book (Ehi),is a fictional representation of slavery during the colonial times. I really hope you enjoy and learn alot about my maternal history from it💜. *************** This book is currently undergoing editing. I take full responsibility for all the errors. This book is how i imagine things were for a young girl during those times. It will be nothing like you expected.So,please keep reading and join me on this incredible journey. ⚠️Most of the contents of this book are not facts or actual past events,it is 70% fiction
