Thirteen-year-old Tameisha is tired. Tired of teachers, tired of homework, generally tired of school. All she really wants to do (apart from hanging out with her friends) is to style hair. All that all changes when a cosmetologist inspires her to make an unprecedented visit to the school library to research Madame C. J. Walker. In the library, something goes terribly wrong and Tameisha finds herself, still in Barbados, but in 1840, just post-emancipation. Although slavery has ended, the plight of Black people remains dire and Tameisha is under constant threat of being sent to work in the elds of a plantation.
Initially, Tameisha is shielded from danger by the kindness of some of the people she encounters (including a few influential historical figures) and the education she has despised up until then, but that may not be enough to save her from the back-breaking eld work most Black Barbadians are still required to do in 1840.
Will she find her way back to twenty- first century Barbados or will she have to stay in the nineteenth century and accept her awful fate?

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
