4.9/5 (29039 ratings)

Description:The story of one boy’s struggle to survive amidst all odds in a land of sugar plantations, slavery and smugglers, a boy who would one day grow up to be an American Founding Father. 1765: Alexander Hamilton arrives with his family in St. Croix to begin a new life. He longs for the chance to go to school and fit in, but secrets from his mother’s past threaten to turn him into a social outcast and tear his family apart. When he sees a young African slave being tortured, Alex vows to act. He urges his uncle to buy Ajax and promises to set him free. But tragedy strikes when his father abandons the family and his mother dies of yellow fever. Orphaned and alone, Alex is forced to survive by his wits and resourcefulness. By day he works in a counting house learning the secrets that make men and nations wealthy. By night he reads Plutarch and dreams of fame and glory.When Ajax is sold to a brutal planter, Alex vows to save him, even at the risk of his own life. With the help of a reluctant slave-catcher, he concocts a plan to rescue Ajax, but when the price for helping a slave run away is torture or death, no one is safe. In a gripping style, Schiller recreates Hamilton’s forgotten boyhood in the West Indies, when tensions were rising in Britain’s Caribbean colonies against King George’s harsh taxes, and the ideas of Freedom and Liberty were echoing in the trade winds. It is a story of heartbreak, struggle, resilience, and ultimately, triumph.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
