Will's Race for Home

Will's Race for Home is a gripping historical adventure set in 1889, just a quarter-century after the Emancipation Proclamation, spotlighting a young Black family's pursuit of freedom and ownership. Tired of toiling on land they do not own, Will and his father embark on a treacherous journey from Texas to Oklahoma, drawn by the promise of free land offered in the Oklahoma Land Rush.

The path is fraught with challenges: unforgiving terrain, ruthless bandits, and the ever-present danger of prejudice and violence. Along the way, they meet Caesar, a mysterious soldier wearing a Union emblem that sparks curiosity and stirs trouble. Despite the risks, the three form an unlikely alliance, united by their shared desire for a better life.

As they race thousands of others to claim their stake, Will, his father, and Caesar confront trials that test their courage, endurance, and trust in one another. This is a poignant tale of resilience, hope, and the enduring quest for a place to call home in a post-Civil War America.
