A reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, told from the enslaved Jim's perspective. When Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he runs away until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck has faked his own death to escape his violent father. Thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. Author Percival Everett provides an opportunity for Jim to present his story of their harrowing trip down the Mississippi River yearning for a life of freedom.
