About this listen
In August 1831, Nat Turner leads a group of escaped slaves in a rebellion that rocks the South. The revolt comes to a quick and violent end. In November, Nat is publicly hanged, and as his body swings, a false sense of peace washes over Jerusalem, Virginia.
Unbeknownst to the world, on the day Nat Turner dies, his son, Nat Hope Turner, is born. Reared by Big Mama on the Turner plantation, young Nat's identity is kept secret to keep him safe. As Nat grows to manhood, he leads his own uprising against slavery and is forever after known as Black.
Fate - by way of Big Mama - leads Black to rescue a young female slave, Sunday, before the plantation owner can sell her. Black has lived for liberty until the day he comes face to face with the alluring Sunday. As the two embark on a sexually charged ride toward love and freedom, they set off a chain of events that forces Black to risk his own liberty for hers.
Black shares the appealing tale of a passionate love between a man and a woman bound together to change their destiny.

When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Story
Transformative and breathtakingly honest, The American Queen is based on actual events that occurred between 1865 - 1889 and shares the unsung history of a Black woman who built a kingdom in Appalachia as a refuge for the courageous people who dared to dream of a different way of life. Over the twenty-four years she was enslaved on the Montgomery Plantation, Louella learned to feel one thing: hate. Hate for the man who sold her mother. Hate for the overseer who left her daddy to hang from a noose. Hate so powerful there's no room in her heart for love.

Story
Asha's life is no fairytale, by any stretch of the imagination. There was no kind, generous father to care for and protect her from the Vegas that exists beyond the glitz and glamour of The Strip. No wise, doting mother to look over and guide her, passing down essential lessons and leading her to the right path. And certainly, no Prince Charming just around the corner, ready to rescue her from working late nights to cover steadily mounting bills.

Story
Spoiled, fickle, and prissy are only a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe Morgan Redford. Though she’s never had to worry about money, she’s determined to make a name for herself on her own terms. Her new venture won’t be an epic fail like her former professional cuddling service or the short-lived pet hotel. This time, through the nonprofit she cofounded, Morgan is doing something meaningful—helping teens who are aging out of foster care—and she’s got her eye on a property that could house these kids.

I am not a drug dealer. I am not a seller… I am not a handler… I am not an abuser… I am not a promoter… I am not a smuggler… However, I understand that I can not save the world or the people who have chosen those paths. So, making substances safer, grander, and extremely unique is my life’s work. What I have created can’t be duplicated, stepped on, or mistaken for anything else.

Great story and presentation
After getting many suggestions for this title from various book groups online I decided to give it a chance. I mean who doesn't like Jacobi Diem? Book is very well written and I loved every minute of it. the author was very descriptive of the characters and you can also see them as you listen. I really enjoy this audible.

Ok
I am glad that I bought this audio book. The story and the lessons conveyed were good. I do think the author went overboard with the love making scenes. Way too many with way too much detail...every time. It got old.

It had everything!
I usually avoid anything to do with slavery because it is so painful. However I was influenced by others talking about the book and wanted to understand what they were referring to. Especially when the narrator talked about the bathtub’s meaning. Now I get it. Great job by the author and narrator. Thank you for this story Ms. Vassar. On to the next book in the series.❤️

I really enjoyed not only the story of Black and Sunday, but also the rest of the people of Fort Independence. Jakobi did an amazing job with the narration as usual. He really brought all of the characters to life. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Amazingly Informative and Descriptive
This novel had me on pins and needles waiting for each chapter. I suspect, this is the other side of slavery rarely told and articulated in such a way that puts you inside the scenes as a bystander as everything unfolds. I highly recommend it as a must read/download to everyone!

Awesome Writing & Narration!
This story was more than I could have hoped for! First of all Jakobi Diem narrated and when I tell you he nailed every character, I mean he nailed it!! The story itself is just beautiful. A true love story. I am new to Joan Vassar but can’t wait to hear more of her stories.

Great Story, Amazing Narrator
This was an empowering story that just happened to be set during slavery. It's also a love story, but with lots of action.
