Description
Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson is a heart-wrenching historical fiction novel inspired by the true story of Mary Lumpkin. Born into slavery on the Bell Plantation in Charles City, Virginia, Pheby Delores Brown's life is marked by tragedy and hardship as she navigates the brutal realities of slavery. Pheby's eighteenth birthday brings her a promise of freedom, but instead she is forced to become the mistress of the jailor at Devil's Half-Acre, a notorious prison where slaves are broken and sold. Despite the darkness that surrounds her, Pheby never loses sight of her dream of freedom, and her story is one of hope and survival in the face of unimaginable hate. This powerful and emotional read has captured the hearts of many readers, who praise its unflinching portrayal of slavery's horrors and its testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience.
