1858. When sixteen-year-old Twilight Adams learns secrets about her ancestry, she rushes in with wild conviction to help enslaved children at a wicked plantation, discovering what the captives know all too well—survival isn’t freedom. Spanning three years, Wild Conviction is a socially conscious, richly historical epic adventure—sprinkled with magic and love. For this novel, the author created a scenario within a historical setting in which the terms Rich-tone and Pale are used for skin tone—and without historical or contemporary derogatory terms.
