about the project
Based on Andrew Ward’s epic Dark Midnight When I Rise, Steal Away is the legendary true story of Ella Sheppard and the Fisk Jubilee Singers, a warrior choir of young former slaves fighting the KKK’s reign of terror against their schools, not with bullets or bombs but electrifying songs of faith and freedom.
Steal Away follows the choir’s titanic rise from the darkness of slavery to the glittering ballrooms and throne rooms of Europe as they conquer the world… and must then conquer their own demons. One of the most breathtaking sagas ever known, Steal Away is a timeless story poised to become a beloved classic.

Steal Away’s towering heroine is the indomitable Ella Sheppard. Damned by past sins and desperate for redemption, Ella takes no prisoners and suffers no fools in her blazing crusade to rescue schools from supremacist destruction.
Meanwhile, Ella and Wallace are from violently far-flung worlds. The supremacist murder of his family has made him a raging militant, while she’s staking her life on a colorblind future. Their war-torn love is a powder keg set to explode.
