A woman of endurance : a novel
(Spoken CD)

Compact disc.

Performed by Tracey Leigh.

Set in nineteenth-century Puerto Rican plantation society, this story follows Pola, a deeply spiritual African woman who is captured and later sold for the purpose of breeding future slaves. 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, including the self-love that she must recover before she can offer herself to another.
