(2) YA Slave Gabriel Prosser grew up with freedom in the air and news of Haiti's revolution. "Can I not do for Virginia what Toussaint has done for his people?" Gabriel asks his wife, and goes on to lead a doomed rebellion. In this beautifully written novel based on fact, Amateau considers the tricky business of liberty in a new nation dedicated to freedom.
