I love the idea of something positive coming from something so sad and inhumane. The children of pregnant slave women thrown overboard. They create their own beautiful world down in deep, watery ocean. But, the trade-off for this hopeful,aquatic world is to lose the memories of their ancestors. How truly bittersweet. I am very excited to read this book and see where the journey goes and what we learn from the ancestors history.

The cover really had my attention. A black mermaid looking to the surface of the water.....hopeful, scared, curious??????????
