Waldwick is a love story that addresses the subject of physical, social, economic, and political oppression of the 1800s. Set in Cornwall, England, Virginia, and Southwestern Wisconsin, Waldwick frankly discusses what one family was willing to do to overcome oppression, as told through the eyes of George Terrill as he fights for his own freedom and then that of slaves owned by his brother. Set before and during the Civil War, Waldwick summarizes what happens when oppression is removed and Daniel, an enslaved man, is given the opportunity to be free. The author weaves actual events and historical figures into the story and describes how the main characters are affected by these circumstances and interactions. Imagine the horror of having loved ones on both sides of a great battle and not knowing their fate. In our time, when our society and culture are so divided, Waldwick offers a look beneath skin color at the majesty of respect and the integrity of acceptance without downplaying reality. Addressing many of the salient issues facing the world today, Waldwick focuses on emotions to the point that readers become immersed in the love, hate, anger, frustration, jealousy, and sorrow of the characters they really learn to know.
