A work of contemporary, literary, generational fiction, following two branches of a bloodline through 7 generations. An exploration of the impacts on Ghanaians whom experienced many facets of slavery and racism in their journey from Ghana to America and home once more.
Impactful and informative with compelling characters and a unique method of storytelling. A beautiful piece that I’d recommend to anyone.
