About the Book Elijah of Buxton
Elijah Freeman, the protagonist, enjoys a simple yet meaningful life in Buxton. Born free, he is the first child in the settlement to experience this privilege. The community cherishes him, and his innocence is a testament to the hard-earned freedom of the people around him. However, the story quickly reveals that this freedom is not without its challenges.
Elijah's curiosity often lands him in trouble, but it also drives the narrative forward. His encounters with various community members, each with their unique stories, paint a vivid picture of life in Buxton. Through Elijah's eyes, readers witness the day-to-day struggles and joys of those who have escaped the horrors of slavery.
Elijah's life takes a dramatic turn when he learns about Mr. Leroy, a friend whose money, saved to purchase his family's freedom, is stolen. Despite his youth and inexperience, Elijah feels compelled to help. This mission marks the beginning of his transformation from a naive boy to a courageous young man.
The quest to retrieve the stolen money exposes Elijah to the harsh realities of the world beyond Buxton. His encounters with danger and deceit test his resolve and ingenuity. This journey is not just a physical one; it is a path of emotional and moral growth.

Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
