In the disunited states, no person of color—especially not a girl whose body reimagines flight—is safe. A quest for Freedom has brought former Muleseed Jellybean “Ji-ji” Silapu to D.C., aka Dream City, the site of monuments and memorials—where, long ago, the most famous Dreamer of all time marched for the same cause. As Ji-ji struggles to come to terms with her shocking metamorphosis and her friends, Tiro and Afarra, battle formidable ghosts of their own, the former U.S. capital decides whose dreams it wants to invest in and whose dreams it will defer. The journeys the three friends take to liberate themselves and others will not simply defy the status quo, they will challenge the nature of reality itself.

Lady Moses
As her mother lies on her death bed, Jacinta Moses attempts to reconstruct - to give dignity to - their life in Lavender Sweep, Clapham. The days of grandeur when her father, Simon Moses - African tribesman and London scholar - charmed the world and her mother with his wisdom and native songs. The days of joy when one of Britain's first interracial couples defied local gossips with their passion for life and each other. The days before Lady, before Manny, before Esther, before John. Before something terrible transformed Easter. Moving from Clapham to America and Africa, 'Lady Moses' is an epic, heart-warming first novel of three generations of Moses women and their fight for sanity, dignity and self-respect
