Overview
Eighth Wonder is a fascinating biographical saga of slave born blind, feeble, and left for dead who begins playing Mozart at the age of three. A riveting true story of treachery, lies, and betrayal that follows the lives of the talented mercurial slave boy, Thomas Bethune, known throughout the world as Blind Tom, and his enigmatic master. The slave's fame becomes so great rumors swirl across the land that Abraham Lincoln wants to kidnap him for the abolitionist cause-a threat leading to his escape from America with his master, Colonel Bethune. Caught between the traditions of the South and the forces of change championed by abolitionists, on both sides of the ocean-the Colonel and Thomas, master and slave, desperately need one another for survival in a world bent on tearing them apart long after the War Between the States ends.
