Nate Shaw's father was born into slavery. Nate was born into a bondage that was only a little gentler. At the age of nine, he was picking cotton and plowing behind a mule. At the age of forty-seven, he faced down a crowd of white deputies who had come to confiscate a neighbor's livestock. His defiance cost him twelve years in prison.

This triumphant autobiography, All God's Dangers, assembled from the eighty-four-year-old Shaw's oral reminiscences, is the plainspoken story of an "over average" man who witnessed momentous changes in the lives of Southern people, black and white, and whose unassuming courage helped bring those changes about.

Theodore Rosengarten is an American historian. He received his BA in American studies from Amherst College and a PhD in history from Harvard University. Along with All God's Dangers, which won a National Book Award in Contemporary Affairs, Theodore has authored Tombee: Portrait of a Cotton Planter, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award for best biography. He teaches history at the College of Charleston and University of South Carolina.

Sean Crisden is a multitalented actor and an AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator who has recorded audiobooks in almost every genre, from science fiction to romance.
