{"product_id":"9780986001901","title":"Kedzie Saint Helena Island Slave","description":"St. Helena Island slaves speak English, but African drums still throb in their veins; they hear the whispers of their ancestors. From this arises a girl of unusual strength, whose pampered life ends when her kindly mistress dies, and she moves to a shanty in the quarters. Kedzie soon learns that the punishing fields aren’t nearly as grim as her master’s abuse. Enter Rio, a young man without a family and at a loss for a heritage. He loves Kedzie, but he can’t rescue her. Kedzie alone can save herself. How a people survives adversity is a story that never grows old. This is a bold look at slavery. No explanations. No apologies. If you like historical fiction, Kedzie is a must-read.","brand":"Bonnie Stanard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120588341488,"sku":"9780986001901","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780986001901_p0.jpg?v=1763884695","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780986001901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
