There, lonely and miserable with nothing turned out as planned, she forfeited her freedom when she found a forbidden love in the arms of Domingo, a slave.Rose had lived a pampered life in a royal palace in India until the palace was overthrown and she was taken and sold as a slave in the American colonies. Proud but afraid, she fought against her owner, Henry Darnall, until he desperately turned to Mary with a nasty deal that put the fate of the two women at odds.To unite her family, Mary agreed to the cruel bargain and found the beauty of love and friendship with Rose. Together, Mary and Rose formed a bond of sisterhood to save each other but when Mary discovered that only the death of her husband could free her, the shock of it claimed her life, leaving her daughter to be raised as a slave by Rose. Three generations later, when help was offered by William Dove, the sound of freedom could not be ignored, even if it took rewriting history to accomplish it.This is the true story of two unique women who forged a family of faith, courage, and dignity even through the violence of slavery and human possession. Through them, a heritage was formed where nothing was as it seemed, and the gift of understanding and forgiveness was their legacy.

Mary Dove, or Malaga Moll, as she is known amongst historians, has been a popular subject of folklore and mystery for decades. Her true story has never been revealed until now. Fully researched and documented, SOLD! takes you from the harem of a royal palace in India in 1682, and chronicles the incredible journey of a woman who is forced to transform from royalty to slave. Then in the year 1750, in an epic twist where the Royal Narayan family must erase a bloodstain to preserve their kingdom, they come to the aid of their long-lost family members and to the courtrooms of the colonies, where they prove that Mary Dove was a free subject of the maharajas of India and therefore could not have been rightfully sold as a slave in the British colonies. From a yet unexplored perspective, this extensively researched true story documents the incredible lives of three Dove generations and their unusual journey through the institution of slavery. SOLD! shows how a deep and enduring love can be found in unexpected places, the violence of jealousy and slavery, the pain of human possession, and the depth of faith and compassion. It reveals the unique turmoil of a proud woman who is sold, but through dignity, strength, and the conviction of her beliefs is never truly a slave, and how she taught her son and granddaughter the spirit of faith, the strength of hope, and belief in the invincible bonds that tie a family together.
