Romey Claims Freedom in an Epic New Novel of Courage and Survival
MARIETTA, GA - Beneath the brutal sun of a Virginia plantation, a child is born on a cotton sack. His mother names him Romey, a whispered hope for a future of roaming free. In Karl D. Keen's compelling novel Romey [https://www.amazon.com/Romey-Karl-Keen/dp/1968750517/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dclu5OFwV74lYho-Ueg2fw.k86X29l_rtAeTUbiK7NX3gJ1XxJ4cJm2S-5plcBNSTY&qid=1765483489&sr=1-1], this simple act of naming becomes the first step in an unforgettable odyssey across a divided America.
Romey's early years are shaped by the harsh reality of bondage. The overseer's whip and the threat of branding define his world, yet his father Joshua secretly teaches him skills for survival and stories of freedom. When cruelty becomes unbearable, Romey executes a daring escape, using clever deception to mislead trackers and hounds.
His flight north is a relentless test of endurance. Romey navigates treacherous wilderness, crosses swollen rivers and forms fragile alliances with Indigenous communities and fellow runaways. Each challenge forces him to confront what freedom truly means beyond mere escape. It becomes a struggle to build a life, to create a home and to secure a future on his own terms.
Keen's vivid prose immerses readers in Romey's world. From hidden spaces beneath cabin floors to vast prairies under endless skies, the landscape itself becomes both obstacle and refuge. Romey is more than a story of pursuit. It is a profound exploration of identity, resilience and the human spirit's capacity to endure and overcome.
This sweeping narrative follows Romey's transformation from a boy born into bondage to a man determined to claim his place in a nation being forged. His journey resonates with timeless themes of justice, dignity and the relentless pursuit of self-determination.
Romey stands as a significant achievement in historical fiction, offering readers an intimate portrait of courage that helped shape America's complex history. It is a story that reminds us how freedom is never given, but must be claimed through relentless courage and unwavering hope.
Romey is available now for purchase in hardback, paperback and eBook formats on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Romey-Karl-Keen/dp/1968750517/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dclu5OFwV74lYho-Ueg2fw.k86X29l_rtAeTUbiK7NX3gJ1XxJ4cJm2S-5plcBNSTY&qid=1765483489&sr=1-1].
