This historical novel follows the descendants of two West African sisters, one married to a British slave trader, the other enslaved in the American colonies. From tribal politics in Ghana and the Civil War in America, to the streets of 20th century Harlem, this family saga tackles themes of identity, resilience, and the complex inheritance of history.
