A BOOKLIST EDITOR'S CHOICE BOOK OF THE YEAR Ambitious and
masterfully-wrought, Lauren Francis-Sharma's Book of the Little Axe
is an incredible journey, spanning decades and oceans from Trinidad
to the American West during the tumultuous days of warring colonial
powers and westward expansion. In 1796 Trinidad, young Rosa Rendon
quietly but purposefully rebels against the life others expect her
to lead. Bright, competitive, and opinionated, Rosa sees no reason
she should learn to cook and keep house, for it is obvious her
talents lie in running the farm she, alone, views as her
birthright. But when her homeland changes from Spanish to British
rule, it becomes increasingly unclear whether its free black
property owners-Rosa's family among them-will be allowed to keep
their assets, their land, and ultimately, their freedom. By 1830,
Rosa is living among the Crow Nation in Bighorn, Montana with her
children and her husband, Edward Rose, a Crow chief. Her son Victor
is of the age where he must seek his vision and become a man. But
his path forward is blocked by secrets Rosa has kept from him. So
Rosa must take him to where his story began and, in turn, retrace
her own roots, acknowledging along the way, the painful events that
forced her from the middle of an ocean to the rugged terrain of a
far-away land.
