Life Story as You are Enslaved: Then Healed From Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome
Your body, your time, your very breath belong to a farmer in the 1850’s
Virginia. Six long days a week you tend his fields and make him rich. You
have never tasted freedom. You never expect to. And yet…your soul lights
up when you hear whispers of attempted escape. Freedom means a hard,
dangerous trek. Do you try it? Yes I did.
