Lamb'S Creek

Lamb's Creek is a work of fiction about a boy, Sammy, born into slavery in the early 1800s. He experienced the pain of being abandoned by his mother. That pain was countered by the love of his grandparents and the slave owners who set him free.Witnessing the struggles in the backwoods of Tennessee, Sammy's independence was born from the idea that he would live a life of bondage to others only if he allowed himself to believe he was a slave. Wanting to be part of a family and place, Sammy works alongside the people who built Lamb's Creek community, a community that spurned slavery and survived the bloodshed of the Civil War.Moving beyond the bonds of slavery and Lamb's Creek, Sammy learns that the freedom to go home is one of the most powerful moves he will ever make.
