Description

Amos Fortune, Free Man by Elizabeth Yates is a powerful and moving story about one man's unyielding spirit in the face of adversity. Captured at just fifteen years old, Amos was sold into slavery, but he never lost his dignity or courage. For 45 long years, he worked tirelessly as a slave, holding onto the hope of freedom. As Amos approaches his sixtieth year, he begins to see his dreams finally come true. This is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking tale that explores the complexities of slavery and the human spirit's capacity for resilience and perseverance. A Newbery Medal Winner, this book has been widely praised for its moving portrayal of one man's struggle for freedom and dignity.
