If you came home from work one day and found that your teenage son had been stolen from home to be held hostage by persons unknown. But, you had some idea of who may have authorized the taking of your son and where they may have taken him to be held for ransom. What would you do? Historical slave ship manifest indicate that 15 to 50 million West African nation residents were taken captive between AD 1500 and AD 1865 to be sold into slavery in the Americas.

The SOLD story describes how a West African family, with all the necessary where-with-all, went after the hostage takers and rescued their son.
