Inspired by true events, A More Perfect Union is an epic story of love and courage, desperation and determination, and three people whose lives are inescapably entwined…

Henry O’Toole sails to America in 1848 to escape the famine in Ireland, only to face anti-immigrant prejudice. Determined never to starve again, he changes his surname to Taylor and heads south to Virginia, seeking work as a traveling blacksmith on the prosperous plantations.

Torn from her home and sold to Jubilee Plantation, Sarah must navigate its intricate hierarchy. And now an enigmatic blacksmith is promising her not just the world but also her freedom. How could she say no?

Enslaved at Jubilee Plantation, Maple is desperate to return to her husband and daughter. With Sarah’s arrival, she sees her chance to be reunited at last with her family—but at what cost?

The love story

The story and bad interpretation of the Bible and justification of slavery . The self-righteous attitude of the southerners.

Great listen!

I enjoyed the narrator and the story. This book makes you think about all the prejudices our country has had, and still has and how we have justified them. So good!

A Perfect Union

What a terrific story, sad, mean and love with an incredible ending to a wonderful tale.

How horrible slavery is.

I hated that Henry started saying Gods name in vain at the last. I did not like that. It was not necessary. I listened to this book. Finished listening to it this morning. My review stands.

A Iirish and black love.

This story starts off slow and a little boring.Then after about three chapters watch out.The narrator was great.I like way way she changed her voice for each character. The Isrichman had Patients and determination.He really loved the slave women and she loved him also.You have to read this book to find out "did they get together and leave the plantation to live as man and.wife'??
