His son formed a romantic attachment to the beautiful strong willed slave, Easter, and together they had a daughter, Queen, Alex Haleys grandmother. After the Civil War, Queen left the plantation a free woman, tried to find her identity in a world in which she looked white but was regarded as black. She eventually married Alec Haley, a ferryboat operator, and together they strove to provide everything possible for their growing family. The culmination of Queens dreams was when her last-born son, Simon, graduated from college, just one generation up from slavery. Alex Haley wrote the Pulitzer-Prize winning book \"Roots\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MACMILLAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44930457993269,"sku":"ByrdShop_0333607651","price":161.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780333607657_a09c22f9-e5d2-4776-b9eb-f422bfe309cb.jpg?v=1778929677","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/queen-9780333607657","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
