Freedom's Fruit by William H. Hooks

Talking about spells and magical fruits when discussing slavery can be frowned upon because magic was not really used as a way to get out of slavery. Though is book is fiction I think people think that since slavery is such a serious topic it is important to write only realistic fiction about the time period. There is no way you could eat a fruit and then ultimately gain your freedom and start your life anew as a free person. That is no where near realistic.
