Corey Haga, a proud father and lifelong lover of stories, has completed his new book, "Stillwater: A New Beginning": a stunning tale of hope and courage that follows a young slave as he navigates live during Civil War-era America.

"As his journey begins, Sam Forman started life as a slave," writes Haga. "At eight years old, an orphan and being sold again, his life amounted to a few coins. Destiny would erase the injustice, but his memories would carry on the pain. Amazing favor would transform his life and create a champion, giving hope to many looking for their own escape. I bid you come and join the dream!"

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Corey Haga's new book explores the trauma that persisted in former slaves despite becoming free and the haunting memories that would overshadow each of their lives. Despite this, Sam's story is one of hope and faith in the future that readers of all backgrounds will connect with and find themselves spellbound by.

Readers can purchase "Stillwater: A New Beginning" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
