Cheryl Wills reads from her new children's book, The Emancipation of Grandpa Sandy Wills. Books available for purchase & signing.

In a one-of-a-kind brilliantly illustrated children’s book that’s based on a true story, Cheryl Wills tells a powerful tale about her enslaved ancestor who fought for his freedom as a soldier during the Civil War. Young readers will be captivated by the emotional narrative which is spun from Cheryl’s real-life career as a telivision anchor who researches what turns out to be her biggest scoop ever: tracking down her great-great-great grandfather Sandy Wills.
