Produktbeschreibung
The Kentucky slave trade is in its darkest days. Cassius is a young virile black man who does not want to die like so many others in the surrounding plantations. Tanglewood offered him a safe home. But when he violently avenges the death of his best friend, he must suddenly flee from this haven. Now he must escape with his pregnant wife, his son and father to the Underground Railroad. They run to escape the hangman's rope and cruel bounty hunters. His wife gives birth in a cave on a cold wintry day, making their travels even more difficult. A safe house on the trail hides another traveler. It is his ex-lover and mother of his son. Cassius must now decide for whom he is willing to fight, desperately torn between desire and fidelity and the pull of freedom. He recalls that they are very much alike. He remembers her kiss but forgets she can betray.
