Description
Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was one of the most influential novels of its time. However, reading the classic today brings to light stereotypes and plot issues. But rather than write off this classic, author Carl Waters reimagines and remixes the story into a four-book series that builds from the world and characters Stowe created and expands on the good she intended.
In Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin, young slave George Harris is a self-taught inventor whose owner despises him. His wife Eliza, however, belongs to another slave owner, along with their three-year-old son Harry.
While George dreams of the day when he can escape to Canada and work to earn enough money so he can buy his family's freedom, Eliza tries to see the best in her situation. But when her owner falls into financial troubles and plans to offer up Harry as payment against his debt, Eliza runs north with her son.
Suddenly, George must forget his careful planning and immediately go after his family if he has any hope of finding them before the slave hunters capture them. Can the runaway slave, George, find his family and save them? Can he navigate the Underground Railroad and get to Canada? Can he finally gain his freedom?
An innovative retelling that offers fresh insight into America's past, Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin is sure to spark as much conversation as the original classic itself. Stowe created the first slavery fiction world and Waters plans to make that world bigger. Most slavery books aim to teach the reader about the dark days of American slavery. Instead, the Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin series will show the reader what could have happened.
