The Chosen Deborah is a gripping and inspiring story of resilience and triumph in the face of adversity. Set in the American South during the Civil War era, the novel follows the journey of Deborah, a young slave girl who dreams of freedom and a better life.

Born into slavery on a plantation in Virginia, Deborah is subjected to the harsh realities of life in the antebellum South. She is forced to work long hours in the fields, and she is constantly subjected to the whims of her cruel master. Despite the challenges she faces, Deborah never gives up hope. She dreams of a day when she will be free, and she believes that God has chosen her for a special destiny.

One day, Deborah's prayers are answered when the Union Army arrives on the plantation. The soldiers free the slaves, and Deborah is finally able to taste the freedom she has always longed for. However, her journey is far from over. The war is still raging, and Deborah must find a way to survive in a world that is still hostile to former slaves.

With the help of a kind-hearted Quaker family, Deborah begins to rebuild her life. She learns to read and write, and she begins to explore her new-found freedom. However, her past continues to haunt her, and she must constantly confront the racism and discrimination that she faces as a black woman in the post-war South.

Despite the challenges she faces, Deborah never gives up on her dreams. She becomes an active participant in the struggle for civil rights, and she uses her voice to speak out against injustice. Deborah's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, and it is a testament to the power of hope and determination.
