On December 15, 1939, the classic movie Gone with the Wind premiered at Lowes Grand Theater in Atlanta, Georgia. The long-term success of the movie is a tribute to the pivotal novel upon which it was based. Now, 63 years later, author Daniel E. Cripe releases Where No Man Shall Be a Slave, a unique and thoughtful novel, assessing slavery from ethical and social perspectives seldom explored in fiction.

Cripes heroine, Catherine Morgan Hill, a woman of courage and brilliance rivals Gone with the Winds Scarlett OHara, both Southern belles of the Civil War and the epitome of loveliness and resourcefulness. In contrast to Gone with the Wind, Where No Man Shall Be a Slave explores the Civil War through the eyes of not only the white South but also the eyes of the black slaves.

On her many adventures Catherine crosses paths with the likes of Robert E. Lee, George McClellan, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Harriet Tubman, Jefferson Davis, Mary Todd Lincoln, Stonewall Jackson, and Ambrose Hill. A different look at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the Wilderness Campaign is seen through her eyes. Along the way, she discovers new beliefs and ideas that she never knew she had.
In Where No Man Shall Be a Slave, Cripe launches a tale of adventure, intrigue, danger, and courage that comes to a startling conclusion.
