Note: This is a second hand, hardcover book which appears to be unread. The pages have yellowed a bit but they are still quite readable.  This is a good buy.

A Place Called Freedom by Ken Follett

In a brutal world, charismatic rebel miner Mack McAsh—a slave by birth—is a man with the courage to stand up for what is right and the strength to stick by his beliefs. Independent and rebellious Lizzie Hallim, meanwhile, is engaged to Jay Jamisson, the ruthless landlord's son and heir to an exploitative business empire. Born into separate worlds, Mack and Lizzie are thrown together when Mack becomes an enemy of the state and is forced to flee his homeland.

Set against the backdrop of turbulent social changes, A Place Called Freedom tells the gripping story of Mack's journey from the oppressive coal mines of Scotland to the bustling streets of London and eventually to the rugged wilderness of colonial America. Lizzie aids his escape, and it is not long before passions rage in the old world as well as the new.

Together, they navigate the dangers and challenges of their quest for freedom, facing betrayal, violence, and the harsh realities of life in a new world. Ken Follett masterfully weaves a tale of adventure, romance, and historical drama in A Place Called Freedom, a powerful story of courage, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of liberty.
