A richly imagined story of two sisters' struggle for true freedom in the mid-nineteenth century as their paths diverge in the middle passage—one to the court of Queen Victoria, the other to an American plantation. Salimatu and her sister Fatmata are captured, sold to slavers, renamed and split apart. Forced to change their names to Sarah and Faith, they end up on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Faith is taken to America, where slavery is still legal and she is stripped of all rights. Sarah ends up in a Victorian England and as the goddaughter of Queen Victoria. Can the two sisters reclaim their freedom and identity in a world that is trying to break them down? Will these once inseparable sisters survive without each other? And if they do find each other again, will they find the other changed beyond recognition? Based on the true story of Sarah Forbes Bonetta, Breaking the Maafa Chain is by turns epic and intimate and will take the readers on a journey of loss, survival, and hope.

How To Grow Jacaranda Tree
The jacaranda tree, scientifically known as Jacaranda mimosifolia, is a stunning example of a tropical tree that bears fragrant panicle-shaped blossoms of a deep purple color. The limbs of a jacaranda tree are trained to grow in an arch, creating a canopy that resembles an inverted umbrella. Because of its fern-like leaves, which may reach a length of up to 20 inches, the jacaranda tree is a good choice for use as a shade (or street) tree. It is a tree that thrives in tropical climates and grows at a rapid rate, attaining approximately ten feet in height per year during its first few years of life. Its growth pace is affected by the environment in which it is cultivated, and outside of its optimum tropical environment, it experiences a growth rate that is more moderate.
