 strong></p>\n<p>We have the wolf by the ears\, and we can neither hold him
 \, nor safely let him go. --Thomas Jefferson</p>\n<p>During the War of 181
 2\, thousands of enslaved people from plantations across the Tidewater ral
 lied to the British side\, turning against an American republic that had b
 arred them from the promises of freedom and democracy. Set against the bac
 kdrop of rebellion and war\, Wayne Karlin's A Wolf by the Ears follows the
  interconnected stories of Towerhill and Sarai\, two African slaves\, and 
 their master\, Jacob Hallam. Educated side-by-side and inseparable as chil
 dren\, the three come of age as they are forced to grapple with--and break
  free of--the fraught linkage of black and white Americans and how differe
 ntly each defines what it means to fight for freedom. Sarai and Jacob are 
 caught in the tension between the dream of equality\, the reality of slave
 ry\, and their own hearts\, while Towerhill sits at the head of a company 
 of black marines that is part of the force that takes Washington and watch
 es the White House burn.</p>\nhttps://stmalib.libnet.info/event/4726210
