A place called freedom / Ken Follett.
Working in the mines of the Scottish highlands, Mack hungers for freedom, when he is arrested for rioting. Sent to the American colonies as a convict, he finds an unlikely ally in Lizzie, a willful young aristocratic woman who yearns to get away from her own kind of hell.
Scotland, 1766. Sentenced to a life of misery in the brutal coal mines, twenty-one-year-old Mack McAsh hungers for escape.

From the teeming streets of London to the infernal hold of a slave ship to a sprawling Virginia plantation, Ken Follett’s turbulent, unforgettable novel of liberty and revolution brings together a vivid cast of heroes and villains, lovers and rebels, hypocrites and hell-raisers—all propelled by destiny toward an epic struggle that will change their lives forever. - "Goodreads"
