Synopsis

Through an interweaving of fiction with historical fact, Purgation tells the story of the transformation of Franklin Graham, a self-proclaimed, twenty-first century bigot, womanizer, and raging alcoholic. In short, he judged and criticized anyone who he determined was different than himself. Rendered unconscious by his own actions, Franklin experiences an alcohol induced comma, during which he is transported to the mid-nineteenth century, at the beginning of one of the most brutal acts of humanity perpetrated by the still fledgling U. S. government against the young country’s original inhabitants, The Cherokee Indians.

Finding himself, inexplicably, to be living amongst a family of Cherokee Indians—a group of humanity whom Franklin loathes—fate, or what some might refer to as karma, adds proverbial insult to injury when he discovers worse still, that he is no longer the man he was prior to passing out. He has somehow been transformed into a black man, an individual belonging to a race even more detested by Franklin than the people he considered to be savages. To say that Franklin was dismayed at his circumstances would be an understatement. But his ego took another major blow when the Indians informed him that he was a runaway slave, who, passing out in the forest after finishing off a jug of moonshine, was found, rescued, and was being protected by them from slave hunters.

As difficult as it was for Franklin to imagine a fate any worse than what had already befallen him, things become exponentially worse when a troop of soldiers round up his benefactors and force them along with thousands of other Indians to walk the Trail of Tears.
