Journey through time with William Howard’s “History in My Bones“. Driven by the legacy of his grandfather, William devoted more than seven years to uncovering the unique story of his paternal ancestors, tracing their rich history from 16th century Angola to modern times.
Delve into tales of resilience and adventure–from a young ancestor’s kidnap in early 1500s Africa, to his descendants’ explorations in Asia’s Spice Islands along with Portuguese sailors, and from crushing poverty brought on by serfdom in the Philippines to being held captive by pirates, and a daring, dangerous escape to freedom in England and colonial Virginia.
With meticulous research and stunning documentation including DNA tests and extensive interviews in the United States and abroad, William brings to life extaordinary paths of his ancestors across continents. Accompanied by over 300 endnotes and captivating photographs, this groundbreaking narrative sheds light on the complexities of free and enslaved African-American histories.
“History in My Bones” is more than a book; it’s an exploration of identity, heritage, and the indominable spirit of lineage and the quest to be free.
