Run to Freedom is the first of a trilogy set on an 18th century Jamaican plantation. Thirteen-year-old Kofi is an enslaved African who works in the pickney gang on McDermott Plantation. His father Kwame secretly trains him in tribal knowledge and hunting skills, and embeds the urge to escape the plantation in Kofi's psyche. Kwame has been covertly meeting the Maroons, planning to escape, join the mountain warriors, and provide intelligence to facilitate a successful raid for arms, ammunition, and food. Kwame's chief intent is to rescue his family in the chaos of the attack and take them to live in the mountains with the freedom fighters.
But something goes horribly wrong: Kwame is captured and killed. Vowing to succeed where his father failed, young Kofi makes an ill-timed attempt to run away. He is captured and punished severely. Though scarred for life as a result of his failed escape attempt, Kofi is undaunted and determined to try again.
Will he succeed where his father failed?
