Description
Yellow Wife: A Novel by Sadeqa Johnson In the midst of slavery's brutal reality, a young woman's survival depends on her wit and cunning. Born on a plantation in Virginia, Pheby Delores Brown has been sheltered from the harsh realities of her world. But when her freedom is taken from her, she is forced to confront the cruel and contradictory nature of her captor. At the infamous Devil's Half Acre, a jail in Richmond, Virginia, Pheby must outwit her Jailer and face the ultimate sacrifice in order to survive. As Pheby navigates the treacherous landscape of slavery, she is exposed to the darkest aspects of human nature. Yet, she also discovers the complexities and contradictions of those around her, including her Jailer. With each passing day, Pheby must make impossible choices and confront the true meaning of freedom. This powerful and immersive novel is a heart-wrenching exploration of the human spirit, set against the backdrop of one of America's most infamous slave jails.
