Description
This is a work of historical fiction based on the daring escape from slavery of Anna Marie Weems. The protagonists take their escape from the point of that historical event, and run in a similar direction, with different twists. This is the very rough first draft of the novel, with much more drafting work needed, especially after the middle of this manuscript, of the novel which is being fashioned out of what began as the Ann & Anna series on the ShiraDest blog. It is being released in stages both to ensure that this work survives the author, and also to show one writing process, from initial concept through the various drafts of a novel.
