Without A Crown

WITHOUT A CROWN tells of the eighteenth century's most indomitable female warrior and heroine, Queen Nanny of The Maroons. An ex-slave freedom fighter who led her people out of the bondage of Plantation Slavery to establish a free nation of people existing to this day. She resisted the awesome military might of GREAT BRITAIN then the most dominant world power, by awakening in her followers the courage that induced them to willingly pay the ultimate sacrifice to remain free. The sage of Queen Nanny and the Maroons is the spark of freedom that ignited a conflagration that spread across the earth, and caused the thinkers of the world to reevaluate their moral principles and put an end to history's darkest and most shameful era. Queen Nanny won and outlived her war to die peacefully at an old age, content in the belief that history would eventually write the final chapter. Lest any may forget, the Caribbean Island Nation of Jamaica has proudly placed her portrait on its currency as a tribute to its only female heroine.
