Description
Breaking the Maafa Chain tells the true story of two sisters who were captured and sold into slavery in the mid-nineteenth century. Despite being separated and forced to change their names, they find themselves in different countries with vastly different laws regarding slavery.
The book follows the journey of these two sisters as they struggle to reclaim their freedom and identity in a world that seeks to break them down and mould them to its coloniser's will. Based on the remarkable true story of Sarah Forbes Bonetta, this novel explores themes of loss, survival, hope, identity and tradition.
