Acerca de esta escucha
Canada, 1860: While on a mission for Black, Elbert notices the lovely Anna Baker for the first time. Unable to think of much else, he leaves Canada to pursue the beauty who has captured his thoughts.
Anna is unnerved by the man with the lifeless eyes, who is relentless and forward in his approach. She offers nothing of herself to the intimidating stranger, but fate has a different plan.
When Anna is assaulted by slave catchers on the streets of Boston, Elbert finds his manhood tested to the limit. He steps in to help, but the consequences prove devastating, and both are sold into bondage. As Anna learns the horrors of slavery, she comes to understand there is more to the foreboding stranger than meets the eye.
Elbert and Anna manage to escape - with the help of the legendary Black. But freedom is not enough to satisfy Elbert’s bruised ego. He wants the pound of flesh owed, and he will stop at nothing to collect.
The Uncaged Mind is a passionate story of love and healing despite the ugly backdrop of slavery.
Native New Yorker Joan Vassar is an avid storyteller who enjoys weaving a great tale.

When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

From the moment his eyes met hers, there was something. Time stood still, the world around them vanished, and electricity... instant electricity. Immediately, she owned him in an inexplicable way he couldn’t quite understand. He couldn't escape her. Not in his dreams. And soon, not even in his reality. He was the man that made her soar. There was nothing in the world she wanted more than him. Absolutely nothing. His touch made her levitate. When she was with him, she was limitless. He felt like home.

She’s an angel. And she doesn’t mind dancing with a demon. That’s why I’d move mountains, dry seas, and hydrate the desert if it made her happy. She brought goodness to the world. It was only right that I made it hers, along with the two tiny beauties that shared her hazel eyes and perfect smile. For them, I’d do whatever. For them, I’d become whoever.

Historia
This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.

Historia
The practice of ministering to the widows and orphans is reflected in this story of Christina Willems, a young woman from Kansas, in 1884, who is determined to reopen the poor farm she manages after a fire devastates the property. She finds opposition from many surprising corners but an unlikely ally in a lumber mill owner who wants nothing more than to hold himself aloof from the world and its troubles. Levi Jonnson agrees to take care of one of the poor farm residents, a young blind boy - and in doing so opens himself up to Christina's world in ways he wouldn't have imagined.

Uncaged my view of historical fiction!
This Black Series is everything. 💜Joan Vassar is an amazingly gifted story teller. 🙌🏽 The historical context, the details, character descriptions and characteristics and the storyline captures your imagination, heart, and soul. 👏🏽
Elbert big, bold, and lethal...wrestling with guilt and brokenness but finds his way to his heart 💜 A woman who shows him that he is worthy of love. Anna and Elbert did not disappoint with their harrowing escape from danger and death...(spoiler) neither would have survived being captured.
Black and his men continue their crusade to freedom and prosperity and offering it to anyone willing to board the Underground Railroad 🛤
Jakobi Diem’s stellar performance is the icing on the cake for this delicious recipe of life on the Frontier.
My rating: 🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥
Is not fair 5 stars is not enough for this series!!!

Absolutely, Beyond a Doubt, Wonderful
.. And Jakobi made it even better. I cannot begin to tell you the emotions you will experience once you decide to read this book and the entire series. You must begin with Black and then experience the journey with Elbert and then like me you will definitely step into the joy that is James!!!
Joan Vassar did such a wonderful retelling and for me even if the story did not go like this I want it to have gone like this. The tribulations of the Black man and woman is heart-rending, but the immense strength of who we are builds us up even more.
I truly and totally enjoyed this one, and I am glad I didn't gobble it down in one bite but that I took my time and savoured it. I am now wondering after James, what will I do. Vassar better be somewhere writing other stuff for us to read!
This was intense and beautifully written and will leave you with a lot of feels, but a sense of proudness will prevail. Proud to be black and proud that black love is AMAZING!

Beyond 5 Stars
How does one put into words how great something is!
Elbert is book 2 of Joan Vassar's Black Series and of course it did not disappoint!
A man set out for revenge.
A man who shows no mercy
A man who vows to not let anyone make him feel no less than a man.
That is Elbert and he has his love, but also his foundation.
Another homerun for Joan Vassar
The narration by Jakobi Diem is nothing short of amazing!

I loved the 2nd Book too
I am telling you I am so surprise that I enjoyed a part 2,3, etc for a book series but I did. I usually listen to the 2nd book thinking I already know what is going to happen. However, Joan Vassar caught me off guard. Of course I have to go to the next book. Great work by the author and by the narrator Jakobi Diem who makes all the characters come alive.

A Dangerous Mind
Elbert sees Ana and is smitten immediately. Following her one day, he attempts to save her from some slave traders, but they both wind up sold and enslaved. Black and team come to the rescue. Elbert takes Ana and her mother back to the fort. He, Black and the team go back to avenge the traders and all involved.
The characters are so flushed out and the descriptions of everything is so vivid. We really got to delve into Elbert tortured mind, a black man and former slave with no power over himself and everyone he loved and to not be able to protect them from this world. It was bloody. It was violent, but they all deserved it. His love for Ana was so fierce and to see him transform into a papa bear was a joy to read.
On to the next one. Loving this series.

Elbert
I didn't particularly care for Elbert after book 1. But book 2 showed him in a different light. It was also nice to get to know so many other characters. This entire series is captivating and gets better with each subsequent book. I would highly recommend. The storyline was captivating and the narration was Impeccable.
