In the deep, oppressive heart of the American South, where knowledge is forbidden and silence is survival, one man dares to ask the questions that could cost him his life.

Wilbert Lee, a young enslaved Black man with an insatiable hunger for truth, defies every rule he's been told to obey. When he's caught reading a hidden page of scripture, he's saved-not punished-by an unlikely figure: Thomas Bell, a disillusioned white slave owner with a secret agenda. Bell educates Wilbert in secret, sharing forbidden knowledge about the true roots of white supremacy, global power, and the lies that have shaped the American institution of slavery.

But when Bell dies, Wilbert is left alone with a dangerous mission: to awaken the minds of the enslaved and dismantle the system from within. Risking torture and death, Wilbert builds an underground network of education and rebellion, teaching over a hundred slaves to read, think, and fight back. As his legend spreads, so does the fear among plantation owners.

Set against a backdrop of thunderous brutality, spiritual conflict, and rising revolution, WILBERT LEE is a harrowing yet inspiring tale of transformation-where truth battles lies, man defies God, and the enslaved confront their masters not just with weapons, but with knowledge. We explore how one man's mind becomes the match that sets fire to an empire built on bondage.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
