Shades Of War (Paperback)

The year is 1776. America is in a bloody battle to end British rule and Phoebe Fraunces is fighting for her own independence. She faces unspeakable challenges as a free woman of color, but finds the courage to make her own way. This play is inspired by the true story of a remarkable woman who played a crucial role in our nation's history. It has exposed audiences Off-Broadway and across the nation to a timeless story about the consequences of love and the true value of freedom. Playwright Dara Harper also wrote "Passing" and penned two novels; "Magic In Moon Time" and "Grits & Grace." EXCERPT: JONATHAN: Phoebe, it's all been decided. Mr. Fraunces promised that you would be my wife. PHOEBE: I am not a possession JONATHAN: There is little difference between a woman and a possession. PHOEBE: I belong to God and God alone. JONATHAN: You father told me that you were strong willed, but this is far more than I expected. When we are married, I will not allow you to speak to me in this manner. PHOEBE: The man I love listens to me. He has a gentle heart and has no concern for my lineage. And he will give me a life of happiness that you never could. JONATHAN: So you will defy your father and marry him? PHOEBE: I must live my own life JONATHAN: You are quite mad... Phoebe, there are many women who wish to wed me and this is your chance.
