Book Review - DIE FREE: A HEROIC FAMILY TALE (Cheryl Wills)

Veteran NY1 television news anchor/journalist Cheryl Wills scored big as an author with her highly acclaimed book titled 'DIE FREE: A HEROIC TALE.'  Wills has sparked a grassroots movement with DIE FREE to ensure that the legacies of her Great-Great-Great Grandfather Sandy Wills, plus the 200,000 members of the United States Colored Troops, are never forgotten during the national observances of the Civil War starting from 2011 up until 2015.

DIE FREE is about Cheryl's discovery of a part of her family tree that was lost for more than a hundred years. She logged onto Ancestry.com and learned that Sandy Wills was purchased by slave trader Edmund Wills in Tennessee during the 1850s. When the Civil War broke out, Sandy escaped with five of his enslaved brothers in order to fight for their freedom. As a result of Cheryl's groundbreaking research, she told her family story before international audiences at the United Nations and the National Archives Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

DIE FREE: A HEROIC FAMILY TALE is one of the more fascinating and inspirational reads to date, and Cheryl Wills has not only made her mark as a fantastic journalist throughout her career, but has now carved her niche as an emerging, incredible author as well! The book is available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and bookstores nationwide.
