Hearts of Wax

Elizabeth, daughter of renowned Abolitionist William Wilberforce, sparks a family crisis when she falls in love with a man who owns slaves in the West Indies. In England in 1827, twenty years after abolition of the British Slave Trade, the fight for Emancipation of slaves in British colonies continues. Lizzie has lived her entire life in the shadow of this conflict, never doubting her commitment to her father's cause. Now, for the first time her loyalty is tested as she must choose for herself between head and heart. Tamar, who has been born into slavery, faces her own battle when her family is uprooted by forces that she cannot control. Although Tamar and Lizzie are worlds apart, their stories intertwine in this historical novella, which is a blend of fact and fiction.
