Reggae Silver knew he was destined to live up to his name and
become a great reggae singer, but first he had to survive his
release from prison. Wrongly accused of robbery and attempted
murder, he faced the threat of deportation, poverty, and continuing
battles with the drug dealer who had framed him. Yet he never lost
sight of his two dreams-to become a famous reggae artist and to
prove his innocence. Set against the backdrop of the Jamaican
sub-culture in New York, Reggae Silver is a thrilling story
interwoven with the music and language of the reggae world. Written

award-winning journalist, this tale of a man's struggle against the
odds has universal appeal.
Slavery was one challenge for Benjamin Curtis. Freedom was another.
Freedom through to Underground Railroad to Canada from the Deep
South, was always an elusive dream. But Benji intended to make it a
reality. Little did he know the price he must pay for freedom. It
was a journey without a beginning because he was a piece of
property. Kept alive by hope, dead by reason, Benji vowed to reach
the "Promised Land" with his family and love interest. Would
separation, solitary confinement, or even death, stop him? Would
determination beat disappointment? Only time would tell because the
very land he saw as the only hope held big surprises. Backed by the
support of a diehard abolitionist and an eminent philanthropist and
father figure, Benji's formidable task was not made easier.
Nevertheless, before him was a vast stretch of land and people that
would either resist or assist his trek through the UNDERGROUND TO
FREEDOM.
