The story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the 18th century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they - and she - will come to both revere and fear. The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age and reveals the extent of her power, they see her as the key to their plans.

Women's unbridled will, and resilience
Revisado: 07-25-15
A sensitive, and masterfully written narrative, weaving a symbolic, allegorical, and historic journey. Taking the reader into the lives of great women who had no voice, but their shear will to live, innate wisdom, deeply profound love, and the demons they fought daily. Broken and battered, stripped, and robbed of their dignity, and any and everything they loved or cared about. They resurrect, and transform themselves to reclaim their strength, dignity, their will to live, and their stolen and lost love. The evolution from slave to rebellious worriers, that drives them forward through pain, and hardship woven together creating, an intricate quilt of wonder and to personal triumphant.
