About This Book
he Redemption of Freetown is the fictionalized account of how the Freetown section of the city of Merton was transformed from a dangerous slum where the residents had no hope to a prosperous and well regarded section of town over the course of fifteen years. The story is fiction, but it is based on fact and shows how it is possible to overcome poverty and degradation. Not by giving of money, but by giving of self.
