The Watchman's Grace is a story unlike any others. Recently available to the reading public, the novel breaks new ground in historical fiction while immersing you in some of the most tumultuous periods of the 19th and 20th century.
Starting in Africa with Prince Kigwa, we witness the pride of the Ehra community taken at his prime of life. Following a harrowing overseas journey, his new land presents the most vicious challenges any human can endure. Facing a precarious existence, every day could truly be his last. There are absolutely no guarantees to survive another day.
Then, when all reasonable chances to survive are dashed, hope is offered for salvation. He is given no assurances, just a slim chance for survival at the risk of paying the supreme cost. Will he take it? Or will being the past victim of wretched betrayal make Kigwa pass on his only hope to live?
The Watchman's Grace covers three continents in a fascinating sequence of events. A bold cast of characters such as Kigwa bring a richness to the tale which only heightens your interest to turn another page.
Throughout the saga, readers will experience all ranges of emotions, from heartfelt joy to base anger. The Watchman's Grace strives to bring an accurate historical context wherever possible, making it a refreshing educational experience as well.
Africa. America. Ireland. The Watchman's Grace shows how we can be separated by geography, though connected as people through the most plausible of past circumstances and ancestry.
