It is 1764 in Charles Town, South Carolina, and Harry's school for enslaved children has been in full swing for twenty years, despite the Negro Act of 1740. An enslaved person himself, Harry finds an unlikely ally in Hannah, a young Jewish girl from town who tutors BintΓΌ, a recent acquisition of the prominent Reverend and Mistress Harte.
But his school begins to feel the pressure as political winds shift and the Stamp Act causes revolt, uproar, and armed protests.

With relentless attention to historical accuracy, Blue-Eyed Slave levels an unflinching gaze at the cruelties of enslavement and shows that although human cruelty may be universal, the same is true for kindness and bravery.
