520    "Set in nineteenth-century Puerto Rican plantation society,
       [this novel] follows Pola, a deeply spiritual African 
       woman who is captured and later sold for the purpose of 
       breeding future slaves. The resulting babies are taken 
       from her as soon as they are born. Pola loses the faith 
       that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive. 
       The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her.
       But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of 
       survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common 
       humanity.   Readers are invited to join Pola in her 
       journey to healing. From the sadistic barbarity of her 
       first experiences, she moves on to receive compassion and 
       support from a revitalizing new community. Along the way, 
       she learns to recognize and embrace the many faces of 
       love—a mother’s love, a daughter’s love, a sister’s love, 
       a love of community, and the self-love that she must 
       recover before she can offer herself to another." --
