description: The year was 1808. Adisa and his siblings were kidnapped from the coast of Ghana and brought to the island of Jamaica, where they were separated and sold as slaves. But being a proud Ashanti warrior, Adisa could never submit to his white masters. By a stroke of luck, Adisa located his eldest sibling, Danso, and, desperate for freedom, the brothers played every card in the pack, which included a steamy love affair between Adisa and the mistress of the plantation, who subsequently became pregnant and committed suicide. With grit and determination, going against tremendous odds, the brothers freed themselves from the atrocities of slavery and then located their siblings, whom they also freed. Confronting the impossible, the family embarked on a very ambitious farming project, from which they became very wealthy. The family ended up creating history by becoming the owners of the sugar plantation on which Adisa and Danso were once enslaved.
