The resulting babies are taken from her as soon as they are born. Pola loses the faith that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive. The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her. But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common humanity. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 650 0 $a Plantation life $z Puerto Rico $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women slaves $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Leigh, Tracey, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220413010304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0446B6F2BAEF11EC9A26F8612EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
