520    "The water-breathing descendants of African slave women 
       tossed overboard have built their own underwater society -
       - and must reclaim the memories of their past to shape 
       their future in this brilliantly imaginative novella 
       inspired by the [...] song "The Deep" from Daveed Diggs's 
       rap group clipping. Yetu holds the memories for her people
       -- water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave 
       women thrown overboard by slave owners -- who live idyllic
       lives in the deep. Their past, too traumatic to be 
       remembered regularly, is forgotten by everyone, save one -
       - the historian. This demanding role has been bestowed on 
       Yetu. Yetu remembers for everyone, and the memories, 
       painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and 
       miraculous, are destroying her. And so, she flees to the 
       surface, escaping the memories, the expectations, and the 
       responsibilities -- and discovers a world her people left 
       behind long ago. Yetu will learn more than she ever 
       expected to about her own past -- and about the future of 
       her people. If they are all to survive, they'll need to 
       reclaim the memories, reclaim their identity -- and own 
       who they really are. Inspired by a song produced by the 
       rap group Clipping for the This American Life episode "We 
       Are In The Future," The Deep is vividly original and 
       uniquely affecting." --|cProvided by publisher.
