More DescriptionScott Harrington is a beguiling slave who becomes emancipated by law at the age of 17. However, he discovers the absolute truth when the law fails to deliver the freedom he envisioned. Long after the abolishment of slavery, Scott and his brother, Walter, remain embroiled in a love/hate relationship with the Seamore family. They are not only the human chattels of James Seamore, but they are also his biological sons. Scott's life is a clash between slavery and freedom, love and hate, Christianity and the dark world of taboo practices. There are those who hate, fear, and are willing do anything to love and be loved by him, including resorting to witch-craft and plotting murder. When his life ends in 1939 at the age of 93, Scott still has a relationship with the family who owned him. In death, he delivers one final blow to the family who loved him despite the vestiges of slavery he forced upon them.
