From debut author, Joyce Efia Harmer, comes a groundbreaking YA
story of friendship and freedom that crosses continents and
centuries, in a timeslip novel exploring the legacy of slavery.
Sometime, me love to dream that me is a human, a proper one, like
them white folks is. Enslaved on a plantation in Barbados, Obah
dreams of freedom. As talk of rebellion bubbles up around her in
the Big House, she imagines escape. Meeting a strange boy who's not
quite of this world, she decides to put her trust in him. But Jacob
is from the twenty-first century. Desperate to give Obah a better
life, he takes her back with him. At first it seems like dreams
really do come true - until the cracks begin to show and Obah sees
that freedom comes at an unimaginable cost . . . Both hopeful and
devastating, this powerful novel about equality, how far we've
come, and how far we still have to go introduces an extraordinary
new literary voice.
