About Back to Slavery by Award-Winning Author Rod Ballard:
Newly Released by Rod Ballard, a Reader’s Favorite Finalist Award Winner.
Royal is an outstanding high school basketball player from Atlanta, Georgia, with a bright future ahead of him. Even though things are going great for him, he doesn’t understand how far his people (African ancestors) have come for him to be able to be in his position.
Royal didn’t care much about what his ancestors had to go through in the past. He thought slavery was pretty simple. “Just sit back, do your work in the fields, and listen to the white man. How bad could that be?”
Not caring about how brutal slavery was for his ancestors, one night after he falls asleep, Royal awakens in an unfamiliar place. He isn’t in Atlanta, Georgia, anymore. He wakes up in slavery times on a plantation, where he witnesses hangings, beatings, sufferings, and hard labor in the fields, but he goes to sleep every night wishing to wake up in his bed back in Atlanta only to wake back up in slavery every time.
Royal is horrified as he tries to survive slavery and everything that comes with it.
Will Royal ever make it back home? Or will he forever be stuck back in slavery?
