The Long Road Home: From the Amistad to Sierra Leone By Dr. Elizabeth Carter Captured beneath the cotton trees of his homeland. Chained in the darkness of the Middle Passage. Forced into a world determined to erase him. Yet still-Sengbe Pieh refused to kneel. In this sweeping historical novel inspired by true events, The Long Road Home follows Sengbe and his fellow captives from the terror of a midnight raid in Sierra Leone, through the brutality of the slave barracoons, to the infamous uprising aboard the Amistad. Their fight for freedom shakes the world, reaching courtrooms, newspaper headlines, and the highest chambers of American power. But victory is not the end. When the survivors finally return to Africa in 1841, they find a homeland scarred by conflict, shifting alliances, and the lingering shadow of the slave trade. Sengbe-haunted, hardened, but unbroken-must rediscover his place among his people. Through rebuilding, loss, war, and hope, he becomes the leader his village didn't know it needed. Spanning continents and decades, The Long Road Home is a powerful tale of resistance, memory, and the unbreakable pull of home. It is a story of a people who refused to be forgotten-and a man who walked back into the sunrise to reclaim everything that was taken from him.
