Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin

Young slave George Harris is a self-taught inventor with an owner who despises him. Slavery has forced him apart from his wife, Eliza, and their three-year-old son Harry, who belong to another owner. George dreams of the day he can escape north and work for his family's freedom, but no amount of careful planning could prepare him for what came next.

When Eliza learns that her owner plans to sell Harry to pay off a debt, she runs north at once. George must escape too, if he has any hope of finding his family before the slave hunters do. They'll all travel to Canada, a journey that's treacherous, long, and often deadly. Will George and Eliza find their freedom or die trying?

"Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the first book in a series that nimbly reimagines Harriet Beecher Stowe's original novel and it includes nerve-wracking suspense, memorable characters, heartbreaking cruelty, and a compelling story told through powerful and refreshing writing. Author Carl Waters' talent is undeniable as he turns the sanitized original tale into an awe-inspiring journey of courage, grit, and faith.
