Ashanti Cry - E-book - ePub

Ashanti Cry is a historically accurate account of slavery in the Caribbean. It tells story of five siblings who were captured from their village in Ghana, in 1807, and brought to the island of Jamaica, where they were separated from each other and sold into forced servitude. After several years, enduring the atrocities of the sugar plantation system, as fate would have it, Adisa, the main character in this story, found himself destined to cross path with the sumptuous mistress of the plantation.
She was a very pretty woman, a lot younger than her husband, but who had placed her on the shelf, as he sought the beds of his young slave girls, where he supposedly found greater sexual gratification. This beautiful, sex-starved white woman soon placed Adisa in her crosshairs; he was handsome, muscular and strong, and in her eyes, was the perfect answer to the sexual frustration she had been suffering.
Throwing all caution to the wind, she brought this young African into her bed, where she indulged herself lavishly in the pleasures of the flesh. This forbidden love affair was as dangerous as it was steamy, and the writing was on the wall from the very beginning; this wasn't going to have a good ending. And just as they both should have perceived; the consequences were disastrous! But somehow, at the end of it all, after the dust had settled, the siblings were miraculously reunited, and after a spectacular chain of events, they managed to turn their fortunes around in a most remarkable way.
