Publisher's Synopsis
Bintu was never supposed to be captured. Her two sisters had gone missing days earlier; so her father ordered her to stay in the village with her mother, while he and other men searched. So many in their village had already gone missing and the tale-tale signs were there that they had been taken captive. And like the others Bintu feared her sisters would never to be seen again. Believing her sisters were hiding in their secret cave; a cave her 16 year old sister Chanecia had taken her years earlier; the same one they introduced to their younger sister, 12 year old Ashaki. But she was wrong; they weren't there, they were on this great vessel moving across the ocean. And now so was Bintu. In the year 1797, 14 year old Bintu's fate is sealed as she arrives in this strange new world completely and utterly alone to face a life that is the epitome of a living hell. This fictional story is slavery through the eyes of a slave breeding machine named Bintu.
