An estimated 20 million newly-enslaved Africans caught their last glimpse of Africa as they passed through Goree Island between the mid-1500s and the mid-1800s en route to the New World.
In this historical novel framed fictionally, author Richard Goree, a descendant, tells how the native women of Goree Island - the Signares - managed to survive and live well within the political, cultural and economic niche in which they were thrust as a result of their mixed lineage. With suspense and mystery, Goree tells a compelling story of strength and survival and unveils a nuance of African history that explores and identifies the original empowerment of the Black woman.
