Two brothers and a sister are sold into slavery.We meet the children at different stages of their diasporan lives,in different countries, continents and centuries,as they try to survive their circumstances that the accident of their birth has bestowed upon them.Ironically,the eldest is now a missionary returned to the New African territory of Liberia in the early-nineteenth century.The sister is a pioneer in the American 'Wild West' of the late-nineteenth century,and the youngest,a GI in a small Yorkshire village during the Second World war.We learn of their plights,not only through their own testimonials but through the journal of the English captain who first purchased them,and the guilt-ridden voice of the father who has waited patiently for their return for over two hundred years.
