Sea Islands Freedom: Expanded EditionA Civil War Novelby Gary “Chris” LambWhen Union forces occupied the Sea Islands of South Carolina in 1861, thousands of enslaved men and women faced a question no one had prepared them for:What comes after freedom?Sea Islands Freedom is a powerful work of historical fiction that follows Samuel, a formerly enslaved man who makes a choice that will define his life—he joins the 1st South Carolina Volunteers, one of the first Black regiments to fight for the Union during the Civil War.But this is not just a story about war.It is a story about freedom that is uncertain and must be defended, brotherhood forged through shared suffering, leadership earned rather than given, and the cost of becoming something the world said you could not be.As Samuel trains, fights, and rises among his fellow soldiers, those back home—especially Eliza—struggle to build a future in a world that is no longer controlled, but not yet secure.This novel brings to life a rarely told chapter of American history. The men of the Sea Islands did not wait for freedom. They fought for it.Perfect for readers of Civil War fiction and African American historical fiction, Sea Islands Freedom delivers an unflinching, human story rooted in real events, including the early formation of Black Union regiments and the fight to secure freedom during wartime.If you are looking for historical fiction that is immersive, emotional, and grounded in truth, this is that story.Book One of the Sea Islands Freedom SeriesContinue the journey in Book Two: The Chalk and the Sword Read more
