Overview

In The Freedom Star, Jeff Andrews invites you to step across the threshold of history and into the tobacco fields of nineteenth-century South Boston, Virginia. This powerful saga immerses readers in the lives, dreams, and sufferings of two families as it shares the journeys of a master and a slave who grew up together on the same plantation. As Isaac yearns for freedom, he endures brutal whippings while Henry, oblivious to his friend’s suffering, serves his first year as a cadet at West Point before joining the Confederate Army. Following a series of false promises and futile escape attempts, Isaac’s only hope of reuniting with the woman he loves lies in joining Henry and the Rebels on their march north. When Henry is wounded and taken prisoner, Isaac finds himself behind Union lines and free, but facing a dilemma. Should he follow his dreams, or save his childhood friend? The author’s thoroughly researched portrayal of the Civil War era adds a rich backdrop to this poignant and suspenseful work of historical fiction. In The Freedom Star, the author presents vivid characters and compelling layers of story that will hold readers until the very last page.

    A MUST READ!

    Hello Jeff!!!! I just got through reading Freedom Star and just have to say it was an amazing story told through so many perspectives. It was so visceral at times that I had to stop and catch my breath and even shed a few tears. To realize the reality of those times, to have your words bring that time and those people on all sides of the war to life, is truley an amazing gift. I see you are going to write a sequal to this book and I am so very glad you are.....there are just too many lives left to to be told about at the end of this story. Even though I could use my own imagination to finish them, I am looking forward to reading how you carry them on. You sir are an amazing author and I am really looking forward to more of your writings! God bless you!
