The book offers a historical account of the Gumby ancestors to the year 1680. Probing through historical records, wills, book chapters, early census reports and other documents, the author links her family among the 500 slaves freed by slave-owner Robert Carter III in 1792 Virginia. The manumission released her Gumby family from slavery seventy-one years prior to Abraham Lincoln's freeing of slaves in 1863.
