Asin Yahola's Wife uses creative writing techniques to explore the complex identities of the 19th Century Gullah Geechee people in Florida. Historical documents offer omissions and distorted perspectives that fictional approaches can never set straight, but this is an attempt to explore possible interpretations.

Not every page needs to be read. The main story appears on the numbered pages:

1. Joshua Giddings

2. 1833: How Cutting Bird Got His Name

3. Sintchakee
