About this listen

When God Gives Us Spring is a historical fiction novella.

Michael Custis Washington is a young black slave living on a cotton plantation in the Province of Virginia. He was born in 1802. Left an orphan at the age of five, he is taken into the big house by his master, Alfred Gordon, to be trained as a house servant. While in this house, he suffers severe emotional and sexual abuse.

When he finally runs away with his wife, Lucinda, he is helped by the Quakers. Through the Underground Railway, they reach the Elgin Settlement in Ontario, Canada. Freedom is his at last.

But when the American Civil War breaks out in 1861, Michael chooses to join the Union Army. He works his way back to Virginia. Is he seeking justice or vengeance?
