ADULA ISLAND — Doris Johnson

What has freedom wrought for these would-be slaves? Adula Sanfra has now been leading his group of African villagers and former captors on their island home in the ocean for six years, and the island bears his name. How have they improved their situation? What delights and dangers have they faced? Which visitors are welcome, and which are feared? In this sequel to Slave Trade Interrupted, we become better acquainted with the villagers and the captain and crew who first sought to sell them into slavery. In her seventh book, author Doris Johnson once again wields her descriptive talent and fertile imagination. She depicts how the villagers interact to protect this once uninhabited island and harness its resources to help their settlement thrive.
