Inspired by true events, A More Perfect Union is an epic story of
love and courage, desperation and determination, and three people whose
lives are inescapably entwined...
Henry O'Toole sails to America in 1848 to escape the famine in Ireland,
only to face anti-immigrant prejudice. Determined never to starve again,
he changes his surname to Taylor and heads south to Virginia, seeking
work as a traveling blacksmith on the prosperous plantations.
Torn from her home and sold to Jubilee Plantation, Sarah must navigate
its intricate hierarchy. And now an enigmatic blacksmith is promising
her not just the world but also her freedom. How could she say no?
Enslaved at Jubilee Plantation, Maple is desperate to return to her
husband and daughter. With Sarah's arrival, she sees her chance to be
reunited at last with her family--but at what cost?
