The Freedom Race

In "The Freedom Race," Lucinda Roy crafts a gripping speculative fiction narrative set in a post-civil war America marked by devastation and a chilling new slave trade. Heartfelt narration by Adjoa Andoh brings to life Ji-ji Lottermule, a young woman raised in captivity who enters an annual race promising freedom. As an underground movement seeks to liberate her, Ji-ji must confront haunting voices from the past to unlock the key to breaking the oppressive cycle. This poignant story serves as both a chilling reflection on potential futures and a rallying cry for justice.
