The prophets / Robert Jones Jr.

Jones, Robert, Jr., 1971- (author.). Playaway Digital Audio. (Added Author). Findaway World, LLC. (Added Author).

Summary:
"Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of sanctuary. But when an older man -- a fellow slave -- seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony."-- Provided by publisher.
