Kay Marshall Strom: ABOLITIONIST AUTHOR

Kay Marshall Strom
returns with her second
Grace in Africa novel, The Voyage of
Promise
(Abingdon
Press),
passionate
about
the still
relevant
issue of slavery. “As a self-
proclaimed 21st century
abolitionist walking
through an old slave
fortress in West Africa, I
was struck dumb at the
sight of baby-sized
manacles bolted to the
wall. Godly Europeans
were responsible for those
manacles. The question:
‘How do good people
become oppressors, blind
and deaf to the suffering
they cause?’” The trilogy
concludes with The
Triumph of Grace in
2011.
