Book Overview
It's early May 1865 and the entire south has been devastated by the Civil War. Slaves have been freed, but there is little work, little food for them -- or those who used to own them. With Hampton York's cash money scarce, can the plantation he has dreamed of owning ever be returned to it former glory? Young Theo has searched for his mama -- a former slave -- for months. Will the former slave reunite with the son she desperately longs to find? Lynette Wheeler, a hotel owner in Richmond, has hidden two secrets for over twenty years. Now it seems she must tell the truth. But what will the consequences be if she does? Can they all be brought together again?

The story of Theo, a young slave boy in the year of 1865
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Distant Shores by Gary E. Parker is the story of Theo, a young slave boy in the year of 1865, and his quest to discover his mother after a dream of her presence on the Oak Plantation. Deftly carrying readers through the tale of young Theo's engaging pursuit, Distant Shores brings the boy's travels to Lynette Wheeler, a hotel owner in Richmond whose secrets of over twenty years will reveal to Theo the truths he must know. Distant Shores is a very highly recommended and entertaining reading novel of one young man's sometimes harrowing adventures in the post-slavery, post-Civil War south.
