Imagine opening your eyes after a long and arduous journey across the Atlantic, to a slave trading block in the middle of East Africa. Naked, dirty and very afraid you stand helpless, being sold into a savage tribe of ruthless natives.
This is a story of one woman's harrowing quest for freedom in the body and heart!
It's Virginia 1808 and our government has created a secret program of exchanging our own poor and widowed women in rural areas into the slave trade in order to gather women from Africa for our own plantations.
The Exchanged is a telling of fiction, yet very much non fiction as we know slavery at its worst was played out in full display for many!
By entering this particular story you will be transported by her side and at times within her head and heart as she tells all in her journal only to be found years later in an old cabin far into the Virginia mountains.
Join in an epic telling of perseverance and resilience as we see humanity at its best and worst played out before us! A story that inspires us all to look beyond race, culture and religions, past programmed hatred, in order to truly see the heart of our human condition.
