God, Send Sunday

Jacqueline Freeman Wheelock
4.58/5 (6 ratings)

Having watched her freeborn parents killed by a slave snatcher when she was six, Sunday has renounced the hope of freedom and resolved to guard her son against such hope by isolating him and pouring her love into him while they live out their lives as tobacco fieldhands on the Duval Plantation.

But when her husband Noah, equally idolatrous—in his worship of abolitionism rather than their son—begs her to join him on the rumored Underground Railroad, Sunday is forced to choose between her marriage and the protection of her child from the ruse of freedom. She refuses Noah’s plea to leave the plantation, only to be wrenched from her son and sold downriver to Vicksburg, Mississippi weeks after her husband’s escape in early 1861. While Noah runs headlong into the reality of tainted freedom in the North, Sunday finds kindness from a most unlikely source during the Siege of Vicksburg.

Will the difficult life lessons about the true source of freedom serve the separated couple’s future, or does devastation, fostered by the Civil War, lie in wait for them both?
