Land of My Fathers

Against a background of French and British colonialists busily carving up Mother Africa, while local tribes were still unashamedly trading in slaves …the vulnerable newcomers felt trapped and out of place. Where men should have stood shoulder to shoulder, they turned on each other instead. THE LAND OF MY FATHERS plunges us into this world. But in the midst of turmoil, there is friendship. Edward Richard, a man born into slavery and a preacher by profession, is convinced that the future of Liberia lies in bringing peace amongst the tribes. His mission takes him to the far north, where he meets an extraordinary man, Halay. Edward`s new and dearest friend is ready to sacrifice his own life to protect his country; for the Liberians believe that with Halay`s death, no war will ever threaten their land.A century later, this belief is crushed when war engulfs the land, bearing away with it the descendants of both Edward and Halay.
