Book excerpt: Kweku Ananse and the handsome stranger Ntim are the two finalist suitors for the beautiful princess Naa Oyoe, daughter of the King of Gbawe. They were equally matched in wisdom and skills, so the King and Elders told them they had two weeks to bring their bride price. Ananse brought a sheep; Ntim brought a golden chariot and precious items. So the princess was married to the handsome rich stranger. A year passed and no one saw anything of them. One day some fishermen found her on an island by a castle; she had been mistreated. The king sent elders to the castle; when Ntim welcomed them, his shadow revealed his true identity, the devil himself, Sasabomsa. Ananse was given a magic wand by Okomfo Anokye, containing three wishes. With that he went to rescue the princess from Sasabomsa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This astonishing novel takes us on a journey along the river of one family's history, carving a course across two centuries and three continents, from ancient Africa into today's America. Here, through the lives of Mother Africa's many daughters, we come to understand the real meaning of roots: the captive Proud Mary, who has been savagely punished for refusing to relinquish her child to slavery; Earlene, who witnesses her father's murder at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan; Big Momma, a modern-day matriarch who can make a woman of a girl; proud and sassy Cinnamon Brown, whose wild abandon hides a bitter loss; and smart, ambitious Alma, who is torn between the love of a man and the song of her soul. In The River Where Blood Is Born, the seen and unseen worlds are seamlessly joined--the spirit realms where the great river goddess and ancestor mothers watch over the lives of their descendants, both the living and those not yet born. Stringing beads of destiny, they work to lead one daughter back to her source. But what must Alma sacrifice to honor the River Mother's call?
