“When the buffalo are gone, then the Indian will have nothing, no food, no clothing, no tepee. Nada. Those rich folks don’t realize that they’re paying to play their part in the big plan.”
Olive Collins, The Weaver's Legacy: A Family Epic of the American West

“I learned that each sentence has a reason, the paragraph has a wider explanation and each chapter a purpose until eventually each book has a meaning.”
Olive Collins, The Tide Between Us: An Irish-Caribbean Story of Slavery & Emancipation

“we learned that Okeke’s ship had come from Cuba and was going to Morocco. Three years previously, Cuba had freed its slaves. It was one of the last European colonies to abolish slavery. Okeke was taking freed slaves from Cuba, luring children, young men and seasoned slaves onto his ships and selling them to countries as far away as Morocco where slavery continued.”
Olive Collins, The Tide Between Us: An Irish-Caribbean Story of Slavery & Emancipation
