The Freedman by Lars D. H. Hedbor, read by Shamaan Casey is out now in Audiobook Format
Hey there, dear Audiobooks Fans! Just a quick post to let you all know that The Freedman, Tales From a Revolution Series, North Carolina, book 9 by Lars D. H. Hedbor is available now as an audiobook from Audible.
The audiobook is read by voice over artist and narrator Shamaan Casey, it is a little over 5 hours in length and the publisher is Brief Candle Press. As I understand things, although this is the 9th book in a series, it can be experienced as a standalone novel. We learn the following about the story from the Publisher’s Summary:
What does liberty mean for a freedman?
Calabar was brought from Africa to North Carolina as a boy and sold on the docks as chattel property to a plantation owner. On the plantation, he learned the intricacies of indigo production, fell in love, and started a family.
Abruptly released from bondage, he must find his way in a society that has no place for him, but which is itself struggling with the threat of British domination. Reeling from personal griefs, and drawn into the chaos of the Revolution, Calabar knows that the wrong moves could cost him his freedom – and that of the nation.
The Freedman is Hedbor’s standalone novel set in North Carolina from his Tales From a Revolution series, in which he examines the American War of Independence as it unfolded in each of the colonies. If you like enthralling stories of familiar events from unfamiliar viewpoints, you’ll love The Freedman.
Grab your copy of The Freedman today, and experience the American Revolution as a personal journey of discovery.
Lars D. H. Hedbor writes Historical Fiction and his books are inspired by the Civil War and by events during that period. We find out more about the author from his Goodreads page:
What made the American Colonists turn their back on their King, and fight for independence? How were they different from us–and how were their hopes and fears familiar to our own hearts?
These are the sorts of questions that I think are important to ask in examining the American Revolution, and in the pages of my novels, I suggest some possible answers.
I am an amateur historian, linguist, brewer, fiddler, astronomer and baker. Professionally, I am a technologist, marketer, writer and father of six daughters.
My love of history drives me to share the excitement of understanding the events of long ago, and how those events touch us still today.
A review for this audiobook will be published in the upcoming days, as I have already started listening and am enjoying the story.
