Description

A Woman of Endurance: A Novel by Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa In a time when the Spanish Crown had prohibited the importation of humans from Africa, Pola and other slave women were forced to endure unimaginable hardships. Their lives were marked by brutal treatment, including serial rape and the exploitation of their bodies. Despite this, Pola finds ways to survive, growing into a strong and determined woman. When Pola is sent to a new plantation as payment for a debt, she is met with a different kind of hardship. However, she also finds a sense of community and support among the other enslaved women, who offer her a fragile sense of freedom. As she navigates this new environment, Pola begins to confront her past and find a way to heal and trust again. Through Pola's story, a powerful and thought-provoking novel is revealed, one that sheds light on the often-overlooked history of the Puerto Rican Atlantic Slave Trade.
