The Home That Hope Built Josiah Freeman spent his first life building structures designed to stand the test of time. A successful Black engineer with more money than he could ever spend, he had everything he thought he was supposed to want-except the one thing he had dreamed of since childhood. A family. When an impossible twist of fate sends him back to the 1850s, Josiah awakens in the body of a free Black landowner with a modest home, fertile land, and a second chance at life. Determined to keep his head down and simply survive, he has no intention of changing history. But history has other plans. What begins with one hungry orphan and one weary elder seeking refuge on his land slowly grows into something neither of them could have imagined. A warm meal becomes a home. A home becomes a family. And before long, families from across the country begin arriving-not as runaways, but as neighbors searching for a place where they can finally breathe without fear. Alongside Esther Bennett, a gifted medicine woman carrying wounds of her own, Josiah helps create a community where children laugh freely, elders are honored, no one goes to bed hungry, and every newcomer hears the words they've longed for their entire lives: "You're safe here." As Freeman Village grows into a beacon of hope and a refuge for those seeking freedom, Josiah discovers that the greatest things a person can build aren't houses, schools, or even entire towns. They're trust. They're family. They're home. The Home That Hope Built is a sweeping historical novel about found family, resilience, healing, and the extraordinary legacy that can grow from one simple act of kindness.

"No respect for the dead." His words came out in silent whispers, his teeth clenched. A small smile tugged on her lips. "Respect is earned in life, my lord. When a man fails to earn respect in life, it cannot suddenly be bestowed on him simply because he returned to the dust whence he came." "At the very least, Lady Atkins, pretend," he admonished.

"Not a low-cut, salacious red dress!" She inched forward, jaw set, until she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "And you are a man whose cousin's widow was only a few minutes ago caught with a man on top of her," she shot back, leaning further in until her lips were nearly brushing his as she searched his gaze.
