Carolyn asked Sadeqa Johnson:

Why did you choose Phillis Wheatley as the poet that Eleanor and William recite to each other before bedtime in the House of Eve?

Sadeqa Johnson Hi there! I chose Phillis Wheatley because I believe she paved the way for me to be an established writer. She broke down so many doors that I am now able to walk through. I hope you'll keep your eyes out for my next novel, KEEPER OF LOST CHILDREN. It will be published in Feb 2026.
