About this title

Synopsis

An Ambitious Slave invites you into a moving tale of one man's search for freedom and dignity amid a nation's oldest wound.

This historical fiction follows Rufus, a Black enslaved worker who builds a life that tests loyalty, courage, and hope. Set across plantation life, a bustling city, and the early days of emancipation, the book blends intimate personal moments with larger social forces to reveal resilience and humanity in unlikely places.

Read about daily life on a Southern wagon train and the daily risks of keeping a sense of self under bondage.
Meet characters who shape Rufus’s choices, from kind masters to those who misuse power, and the people who help him survive.
See how freedom changes a life, and what a single person can do to influence others around him.
Follow Rufus’s later reflections on faith, friendship, and the cost of leadership in a turning era.

Ideal for readers of historical fiction that centers personal courage, social history, and the human stories forged in a difficult past.
