Summary Told with interstitial historical chapters, fourteen-year-old Taína (Ty) must draw from the strength of her Taíno ancestors to bring her family and community hope and healing after a devastating incident.
Despite her name, T̕ana Perez doesn't know anything about her Taíno heritage, nor has she ever tried to learn. How would ancient Puerto Rican history help with anything? There's constant trouble at school and in her neighborhood, her older brother was kicked out of the house, and with her mom at work, she's left alone to care for her little brother and aging grandmother. Then her abuela tells T̕ana she is a direct descendant of Anacaona, a leader, warrior, and poet who was murdered by the Spanish in 1503. She gives her an amulet and a zemi and says that it is time for her to step into her power like the women who came before her. - adapted from jacket
