Ona Judge: I Am Free is a re-imagined account of a true and painful story with a soul, told generations on. It tells the story of Ona Judge, known as Oney, Martha Washingtons favorite servant, in Oneys own words.
At the height of George Washingtons presidency, Oney boldly defied orders and expectations, slipping past the watchful eyes of the nations capital and finding refuge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Despite their best efforts to reclaim her, Oney remained a specter of freedom that eluded the Washingtons.
Embracing a life of liberty, Oney navigated trials and tribulations, from marrying sailor Jack Staines to enduring lifes profound losses, yet always maintaining and cherishing her freedom. In the face of adversity and poverty, Oneys resilient spirit and declaration in 1847, "I am free now and choose to remain so," stands as a testament to her unbreakable will.
In a modern world where cultures and histories collide, this novel is a timely reminder of perspectives that we may have become blind to.
