About this item
A gripping, multi-generational saga of defiance, courage, and revolution
In 1651, Alice Lake is hanged as a witch in the Puritan colony of Massachusetts—a tragic death that sparks a centuries-long fight for justice and freedom.
In the early 1800s, Alice’s descendants, the Knowles family, relocate to Ohio during the War of 1812, where they become deeply involved in the abolitionist movement. Braving danger and defying the law, they aid runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad. As the years pass, the Knowles women rise to the forefront of the suffrage movement, determined to secure a future of equality for all.
From Alice's execution to their battles for freedom and civil rights, Becoming American is a powerful, multi-generational tale of survival, courage, and the unyielding pursuit of justice. Through the Knowles family’s eyes, we witness the heart of America’s struggle to live up to its ideals.
This biographical historical fiction novel explores how one family’s fight for justice shaped the nation's destiny—and how the past continues to echo in our pursuit of a better future
