About

Told from the perspective of Henry 'Little Onion' Shackleford, a newly freed teenager who joins abolitionist John Brown on a holy crusade to end slavery. Onion encounters Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, and he finds himself as a part of the famous 1859 raid at Harpers Ferry.

A righteous, restless energy pulses through this journey toward a violent reckoning with American bondage. Following a young boy swept into a holy crusade, the story captures the feverish tension of a nation on the brink of collapse.
