From Lane Willey On the eve of an election that will change history, I finished this book. Not a day of researching or writing went by that I did not think of the slaves and those who helped them to freedom: free blacks, religious groups, Native Americans and Canadians from every walk of life. If Barack Obama is elected president Free at Last will whisper through the trees and be heard by those willing to listen to words from the past. Lane Willey November 3, 2008 Whittled By Time A young slave escapes from his master in Georgia and slowly makes his way to freedom in the North. Isaac travels on foot, ships, wagons and is helped by religious sects, Abolitionists and free blacks. Aspects of the Freedom quilt and recently discovered safe houses in the northeast provided temporary safety. Isaac was always aware that a single word could change the course of his life. Factual chapters are interspersed throughout the book to provide the reader with details of slavery prior to and immediately after the Civil War. Available in the store now Lane Willey has written plays, short stories and poems for children and her articles and stories have been published in periodicals. The author divides her time between the Sierra foothills in California and an ocean inlet in Eastport, Maine. Whittled by Time is Willey’s third book. Her first book, The Invitation, was written in 2004. Fireflies in Baldwin is a suspense mystery, and now Lane Willey has combined her love of history with her skill for fiction in Whittled by Time.
