Review Quotes
Based on actual events, Hear the Wind's Voice transports the reader to 1857, just after the Dred Scott decision was released by the United States Supreme Court, which tested the very foundation of liberty upon which the republic was founded. Though fiction, the story explores the quest for freedom by an oppressed element of the population against the backdrop of the abuses of freedom by those who already had it. Alton Fletcher's deft use of compelling characters, vivid imagery, and a nail-biting plot bring this story to life in a way that will not disappoint. It is a fitting sequel to Find the Wind's Eye.
