“What use is a good book...if you cannot share your pleasure in it with another?”
― Ama: A Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade
― Ama: A Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade
“When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.”

“I am a human being; I am a woman; I am a black woman; I am an African. Once I was free; then I was captured and became a slave; but inside me, I have never been a slave; even today, inside me, here, and here, I am still a free woman.”
