A mix of fiction and fact: In 2002, the author discovered that his ancestors had owned a slave named Will. He only learned a few facts about Will: that he was the number two man in the slaves’ self-government, and that he had come over directly from Africa, quite likely in 1755 on the ship Exeter. It was upon learning that Will had signed the Petition for Freedom addressed to the New Hampshire State Legislature on November 12, 1779 that the author was inspired to write this story.
