Just not my cup of tea. A bit too much of the spirit world. Still, a harrowing imagining of the horrific reality of slavery.

Annis, sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her, is the reader’s guide. As she struggles through the miles-long march, Annis turns inward, seeking comfort from memories of her mother and stories of her African warrior grandmother. Throughout, she opens herself to a world beyond this world, one teeming with spirits: of earth and water, of myth and history; spirits who nurture and give, and those who manipulate and take. While Annis leads readers through the descent, hers is ultimately a story of rebirth and reclamation.
Just not my cup of tea. A bit too much of the spirit world. Still, a harrowing imagining of the horrific reality of slavery.
