Good Fortune

Good Fortune

Ayanna Bahati lives in a small African village when she is brutally kidnapped, along with her brother, and forced onto a slave ship to America. As Ayanna, renamed Anna, rises from the cotton fields to the masterâ‚¬s house, she finds the familial love sheâ‚¬s been yearning for in elderly Mary and Maryâ‚¬s son Danielâ‚¬"but she is also faced with more threats to her survival. Risking everything to escape the plantation, Anna manages to make it north and to freedom, eventually settling in the free black community of Hudson, Ohio, and educating herself to become a teacher.

In the tradition of Copper Sun and Chains, this is the stirring tale of a girlâ‚¬s journey from Africa to freedom and from youth to womanhood, as recounted in this dazzling debut novel.
