With a brilliant mind and a fierce will to survive, Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a kidnapped African princess, is rescued from enslavement at seven years old and presented to Queen Victoria as a "gift." To the Queen, the girl is an exotic trophy to be trotted out for the entertainment of the royal court and to showcase Victoria's magnanimity. Sarah charms most of the people she meets, even those who would cast her aside. Her keen intelligence and her aptitude for languages and musical composition helps Sarah navigate the Victorian era as an outsider given insider privileges. But embedded in Sarah's past is her destiny. Haunted by visions of destruction and decapitations, she desperately seeks a place, a home she will never run from, never fear, a refuge from nightmares and memories of death. From West Africa to Windsor Castle to Sierra Leone, to St. James's Palace, and the Lagos Colony, Sarah juggles the power and pitfalls of a royal upbringing as she battles racism and systematic oppression on her way to living a life worthy of a Yoruba princess. Based on the real life of Queen Victoria's Black goddaughter, Sarah Forbes Bonetta's story is a sweeping saga of an African princess in Victorian England and West Africa, as she searches for a home, family, love, and identity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bonetta, Sarah Forbes, $d 1843?-1880 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Victoria, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1819-1901 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Biographical fiction. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print Black voices. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CF73B68BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
