This month’s author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, discusses the emotional toll of slavery in The Water Dancer. Simply love this passage from the book, “The light of freedom had been reduced to embers, but it was still shining in me, and borne up by the winds of fear, I kept running, bent, loping, locked, but running all the same, with my whole chest aflame.” The story focuses not only what was done, but how the protagonist lived.
